Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SECCA DEL CAPO
The entire dive at the Secca del Capo shoal takes place at depths ranging from 35 to 50 m. The underwater environment is striking: on certain slopes you will find steep walls plunging into the depths, while from the bottom you can enjoy incredible views of the imposing rock face extending towards the surface. The clarity of the water plays a key role, as it allows for a good range of action, and encourages you to distance yourself from the large monolith and explore the various boulders scattered about.

RELITTO DEI CANNONI
Just north of Punta Libeccio, at about 100 m from the coast, a site known as the “Relitto dei Cannoni” (the “Wreckage of Cannons’’) can be found at a depth of 15 m. The gently sloping seabed, which is characterised by naturally split rocks alternating with clearings of sand and gravel, contains traces of an ancient shipwreck: eight cannons of uniform size and characteristics, six of which are lying in disarray along a vaguely rectilinear axis, while the other two are offset by about 20 m to the west. The total distance between the farthest cannons is about 30 m.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK
The shipwreck site is located almost at the centre of Cala Tramontana. The dive begins over a seabed 12 m in depth, which gently slopes down to a sandy plateau at a depth of about 7 m, where the outline of the wreck can be seen in the distance. The stern of the steel Libyan vessel, which was sunk in 2001, lies at a depth of about 18 m. Layout of the wreck: the stern lies to the north-west and the bow lies to the south-east.
