Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Secca del Toro
The spectacular rock face
The top of the shoal consists of a rocky plateau 9 to 12 m in depth, and about 25 m wide. From here, a steep vertical wall stretches down to a maximum depth of 25 m. Continuing to follow the shoal, you will enter a channel bordered on the left by the steep wall of the shoal itself, and on the right by a large rock formation. Upon re-ascending to the surface, you will pass by a succession of plateaus up to 12 m in depth. Upon reaching the top, you will come to the anchor, and will continue to climb along the top for the safety stop prior to re-surfacing.

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.
