Sciara dell'Arpa
The sponge itinerary
The Sciara dell’Arpa dive, on the island of Alicudi, is accessible to divers of all levels, since almost all of the routes are right along the coast. The profile of the submerged walls is decidedly less inclined over the first 30 m, where large numbers of isolated and broken boulders are strewn haphazardly.
At a depth of just a few metres, small caves and tunnels can be found among the piles of rock, the sides and faces of which have been entirely colonised by life forms.

CALA TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
Punic, Greco-Italic and Imperial Roman amphorae
The beginning of the itinerary, which is marked by a buoy, can be reached by land from the Cala Tramontana pier, or else by sea by mooring your boat to the appropriate float. The itinerary begins at a depth of about 8 m, on a seabed covered with sea grass that slopes down to a sandy plateau.

MARTINGANA
The “Sabbione Bianco”: the plain of sand that extends as far as the eye can see
The Martingana dive begins from the white rocks, from which we slowly head down to the bottom on the south side and follow the volcanic wall on the left, the circumnavigation of which constitutes our underwater pathway. The large wall is full of cracks and small natural niches, it also has a small cave known as “shrimp cave”, which is about 30 m deep. It is recommended to descend slowly in order to observe every corner and cavity of this impressive ridge. The spectacular “White Sand” feature is an enormous expanse of white sand that stretches as far as the eye can see from the foot of the wall (maximum depth of about 40 m).
