Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SCOGLIO PETRA NAVE
At the start of the dive, you will immediately descend down the tract that leads from the anchoring point to the northern wall of the rocky outcropping. After overcoming a detritus slope, you will reach the “coveted milestone”: a series of overlapping rock slabs that form a pyramid-like shoal at a depth of about 30 m, which rises up to just about a dozen metres from the surface. This enormous pile of stones and boulders has created an endless maze of passageways, openings, and impregnable holes. After exploring the large shoal, you can choose between two possibilities: to return along the same path by which you came, and focus your attention upon an area of scattered boulders at depths ranging from 20 to 30 m, or to continue circumnavigating the Petra Nave outcropping counter-clockwise, and focus your attention upon the vertical wall of the outcropping itself.

ANCHOR STOCK IN CAPO GROSSO
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.

MARTINGANA
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).
