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.

ANCHOR STOCK IN CAPO GROSSO
Hellenistic and Roman remains
This location named “Anchor Stock in Capo Grosso” is also in the area of the sea north of Levanzo. From the dive point at about 10 m from the coast, visitors can see the numerous anchor stocks still lying on the sea floor thanks to the crystal clear water, with no need to follow a pre-defined route.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK
The shipwreck dive suitable for all skill levels
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.
