Relitto dell'Arenella

At about 1000 meters from the coast of Addaura, between the village of Acquasanta and Mondello, there is a ripple that runs parallel to the coast that varies from 25 to 45 meters deep.

The site is located on the northern edge of Priola on a bathymetric of about 30 meters in a natural amphitheater. A Christ statue has been placed there that makes the scenery enchanting. The presence of groupers, ravens, and large breams are seen here.

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.

The top of the shoal is between 8 m and 15 m deep, for about 300 metres in length, with its flattened ovoid shape, more or less parallel to the coast and about 300 metres away from it. It offers a conformation rich in ravines, small and large hollow caves, imposing rocks and walls.

This dive site is good for every kind of diver. There is a cave (not completely underwater) and a nice wall, where the maximum depth is 25 meters.

On a seabed between 30 and 55m, at the narrowest point of the Strait of Messina, lies the wreck of Cannitello, known as “U Vapuri“ and identified with the ship “Alvah“, sunk in the early 1900s. The hull is placed upside down on the seabed that degrades rapidly, divided into two sections, and is covered in life!

Entering from the shore, you’ll find the bottom covered in fine white sand that slopes steeply towards the depths of the Strait of Messina, reaching 40 meters just a few steps from the beach. The sea bed, in crystal clear water, is animated by thousands of great spirographs, among which are often seahorses and trumpet fish.

This die site sits amongst the rock cliffs around the fortress of the Ruffo Castle of Scilla and is characterized by crystal clear water, rich biodiversity, and numerous small canyons and inlets. Around the landslide, which from the surface reaches about 22/25 m deep, lies an expanse of white and luminous sand.

At Saline Joniche, with access from a wide beach of pebbles and sand, there is a small cliff with vertical falls from 8m to 20m, with a sandy bottom and subsequent rock slide, covered with a variety of algae and sponges. At a shallow depth, under a small cave, there is a statue of Jesus, covered in sea life.

San Dimitri Point is a boat dive to the westernmost point of Gozo. It is a site with a beautiful reef and interesting swim throughs. The drop off leads to some huge boulders. This site is best suited for more experienced divers. The depths range from 5m to 30m.
