PUNTA DELL’ARPA
Large populated boulders
The Punta dell’Arpa dive begins just off shore with a landslide of volcanic rocks and a wall that descends vertically to a sandy seabed at a depth of about 35 m. Following the steep profile of the seabed out to sea to a depth of about 30 m, you will find yourself immersed within an incredible environment. It is possible to proceed down to the depth of 45 m. The safety stop can be made in the adjacent cove, which has a maximum depth of 8 m, and features a series of passageways and tunnels covered with coral and sea anemones.

Cala Minnola
Amphorae in the sea grass
In the water off Cala Minnola, at just a few dozen metres from Punta Albarella, a Roman shipwreck can be found at a depth of 27 to 30 m. The wreck features the remains of a shipload of amphorae (fifty), as well as numerous fragments of black painted pottery (used on-board), which have remained in their original location on the seabed.
