Dive-site story
Located off the Capo Milazzo peninsula in Sicily, Tre Pietrazze features three prominent underwater rock formations rising from a seabed of sand and Posidonia oceanica meadows. The rocky structures create natural swim-throughs and crevices that shelter typical Mediterranean species. Divers navigate around the monoliths while observing schools of fish circulating in the surrounding blue water.
