Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Seccagni
From a morphological point, this site consists of multiple branches of rock that extend into the deep, thus creating a series of deep, narrow canyons between one ridge and the next. Each ridge creates a small shoal (hence the local name of “Seccagni”) that extends in the direction of the Canna formation with vertical walls rich in fish and plant life. This dive site is best known for its underwater scenery, since it gives the impression of being inside an amphitheatre, or in front of a cathedral, due to the succession of small spires. The minimum depth from which the dive begins varies based on the arm of lava rock that you choose to start from, and can range from as little as ten metres to as much as 15 or 20 metres. The shoal that extends to the north-west is clearly visible from the surface, and is distinguished by the alternating blue and emerald green colours of the ridges descending into the abyss.

CALA TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
The beginning of the itinerary, which is marked by a buoy, can be reached by land from the Cala Tramontana pier, or else by sea by mooring your boat to the appropriate float. The itinerary begins at a depth of about 8 m, on a seabed covered with sea grass that slopes down to a sandy plateau.
