Cristo degli Abissi

Called Bettolina dell’Arenella, this small wreck, located a few hundred meters off the coast, lies on a sandy seabed between 10 and 18 meters deep. It is an artificial reef and lends itself to underwater photography, nature photography, and drills for small penetrations into it

A few hundred meters from the port of Isola delle Femmine is the wreckage of the German Junkers 52 aircraft. It was shot down in April 1943, and now sits at 46 meters deep on a sandy bottom.

Opposite the Diving Center we can find Scalo della Madonna with entrance from the beach suitable for all training dives in confined waters and night dives.

West of the Isolotto di Isola delle Femmine, a 10-minute boat ride from the diving site we can find Franata di Ponente, a dive suitable for everyone from beginners to experts; its depth varies from 5 to 50 meters.

The Gorgonian Wall is located on the north side of Isola delle Femmine, right on the border of Zone A, the Capo Gallo Marine Protected Area, and Isola delle Femmine. A descent into the blue water takes us to a plateau at a depth of about 22 meters. From here, a wall rich in red gorgonians and sponges begins.

Just a few minutes’ boat ride from the port of Isola delle Femmine to the west of Isolotto we can find wall of Ponente, with vertical walls from 25 to 50 meters, a true paradise of biodiversity.

Two miles South West Of the Ustica’s harbour, there is this dive site that raises from a sandy bottom at 50m/150 ft goes up to his top at 26m/78 ft. It’s surely one of the top dive spots of the island with lots of corals and fishes.

About a mile and a half in a westerly direction from the port of Ustica, is Punta dell’Arpa, characterized on the surface by the presence of its famous “scoglio del cornutone“. Underwater, two large rocks rise from a sandy bottom of 40 m, whose walls are colonized by large branches of red gorgonians.

One mile southwest of Ustica harbor is Punta Galera: a lava flow bisects a bay. Here you can follow several dive routes that allow you to follow profiles suitable for divers of any experience. It is also one of the sites where courses are held.

A few minutes from the port, in a south-south-west direction, there is a lava wall that reaches a depth of 40 meters from the surface. Characterized by the presence of a canyon: the famous “Spaccazza di San Paolo“ which creeps into the mountain for several metres.
