Dive-site story
Set directly in front of the historic Sicilian tuna fishery, this dive explores the submerged bases of iconic limestone sea stacks. Sheer vertical rock faces drop onto boulder piles and lush seagrass meadows. Between rocky crevices and natural arches, sharp-eyed divers regularly find fragments of ancient Greco-Roman pottery resting on the seabed.
