Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SCOGLIO CORRENTE
The underwater valleys
The Scoglio Corrente dive begins 10 m south of the outermost rock. Following the profile of the rock at a depth of 20 m, you will come to a landslide with a seabed interspersed with sandy sections that slowly descends to a depth of 25 m. Staying at the same depth, you will come to the first rocky terrace at the tip of the Scoglio Corrente outcropping, which you pass on the west side in order to begin the second part of the dive. The west side features a landslide along the wall that becomes rather high and steep, with a number of spectacular passages between the rocks. Starting the re-ascent slowly, and keeping the wall on your right, you will pass by the first of the two rocks that emerge, which are separated by a rocky expanse at a depth of about 7 m.

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.

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.
