PIETRA DEL BAGNO
Colourful walls for everyone
Starting from the safest anchoring point, on the side facing Lipari, you can enjoy a quick tour around the Pietra del Bagno outcropping. Almost immediately, the sides drop vertically down to a depth of 25 m. Continuing downward, you will come to landslide of boulders, which extends into the open water. Special features include a small cave on the north-west side of the rock, with a 2.5 by 5 m long entrance, which can be explored during the ascent. On the south-east side, on the other hand, a series of colourful rock pinnacles can be found in the direction of Vulcano extending towards the surface, which are quite popular among underwater filming enthusiasts.

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.

BASILUZZO
The natural and cultural itinerary
The morphology of the coastline and seabed consists of an imposing rocky outcropping that creates a natural wall in the underwater environment. The Basiluzzo underwater itinerary begins at the base of this block, at a depth of about 12 m. Following the guiding rope, which indicates the pathway, you will come to the base of the ridge. Heading southward, at a depth of about 15 m, you will have the chance to glide over a sandy hollow intermittently colonised by small banks of sea grass, until you come to the plateau. Returning along the guiding rope, the seabed rises in large steps as you overcome a series of big isolated rocks. At the depth of 6.7 m, you will encounter a submerged wall structure.
