★★★★☆ Relitto dell'Arenella
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
★★★★☆ Cristo degli Abissi
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.
★★★★★ Franata di Ponente
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.
★★★★☆ Isola delle Femmine
Franata dell’ancora is a dive site with a beautiful descent into the blue to a depth of 25 meters. Along a sloping wall, divers can discover hidden creatures such as moray eels and lobsters.
★★★★★ Junkers Ju-52 (Wreck)
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.
★★★★★ Scalo Madonna
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.
★★★★★ Grotta dell'olio, Mondello
On the wall of the Capo Gallo mountain you can see a semi-submerged cave: It opens on a sandy bottom at 6-7 meters and it goes through some more or less narrow passages that create a natural path between the rocks adorned with sponges.
★★★★★ Parete delle Gorgonie
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.
