Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SECCA DEI PESCI
The exclusive itinerary for experienced divers
The shoal’s top is located at a depth of 35 m, and while the area at the top is reduced to just a few square metres, it grows larger as you descend due to its pyramid-like shape. Its profile mainly consists of overlapping rock slabs, which create an infinite number of dens and lairs. The cracks run along the sides of the shoal in all directions, thus resulting in a maze of intricate passageways. The burrows beneath each stratification can even penetrate into the rock for a number of metres.
IMPORTANT. The diving is technically intended for fourth-level divers, with an experienced boatman who has an excellent knowledge of the location. It is recommended to descend onto the top along the fixed marker rope, as this will render anchoring much less difficult.

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.

PUNTA FALCONIERA
The archaeological and naturalistic dive
The northern tip of Punta Falconiera is characterised by a rocky wall that is interrupted to the east, at a depth of about 15 m, by a sandy valley with banks of sea grass. In this direction, you will descend to a depth of about 30 m, where you will encounter a steep slope made up of sand and organogenic debris. Following the guiding rope, you will come to a slightly sloping plateau at a depth of 20 m. Continuing southward, you will descend to a depth of 30 m, where the seabed consists of a series of sloping steps with large isolated rocks and banks of sea grass, while beyond the escarpment the sea floor is sandy and covered by debris. Nearby, you will find a rocky wall covered by crevices that you can follow to reach the dive’s end point.
