Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SECCA DEI PESCI
The shoal’s top is located at a depth of 35 m, and while the area at the top is reduced to just a few square metres, it grows larger as you descend due to its pyramid-like shape. Its profile mainly consists of overlapping rock slabs, which create an infinite number of dens and lairs. The cracks run along the sides of the shoal in all directions, thus resulting in a maze of intricate passageways. The burrows beneath each stratification can even penetrate into the rock for a number of metres.
IMPORTANT. The diving is technically intended for fourth-level divers, with an experienced boatman who has an excellent knowledge of the location. It is recommended to descend onto the top along the fixed marker rope, as this will render anchoring much less difficult.

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.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK
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.
