PUNTA LISCETTO
The Pantelleria dive for beginners
The Punta Liscetto dive begins at a depth of 10 m with the wall on the right hand side, where the seabed is characterised by a mass of boulders from a landslide forming natural dens for various fish species. Before reaching the depth of 23 m, first level divers should approach to the wall, while more experienced divers can plunge down to 30 m where the rocks and boulders form spectacular passages and tunnels. The north face of the wall drops down over 30 m, and beginners can arrive to a depth of 17 m by following them down. With the wall on the left hand side, you can make out a cave about 15 m away, with a 2 m high entrance. Inside, you will find a small statue of the Virgin Mary. Outside the cave there are small canyons. These can be followed to a terrace, where you can turn left to return to the dive site.

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).
