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.

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.

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.
