The dive goes down following a wall and at 32mts it’s possible to see a mine dating back to the Second World War.
At Cala Levante you´ll find the “Panettone”, a big rock with a peculiar wall that gives home to many marine species: cods, baby moray eels and lobsters. And if you’re fond of archaeology you can’t miss Cala Gadir.

At Arco dell’Elefante (Elephant Arch), the most notorious spot of the island, you can find seabreams, snappers and scorpion fishes.
We also would like to draw your attention to Campobello, 100mts away from the coast at the North-East. Pay attention while diving here: during some periods of the year you´ll have strong winds from the North and the South.

Then the unforgettable Punta Spadillo, with its dark rocks and clear sand, it’s home for many species: parrot fishes, cods, octopuses, baby moray eels, scorpion fishes, yellowtails, seabreams and lobsters.
For those who love strong emotions and hs experience, we would suggest a dive at Punta Rubasacchi at more than 40mts depth. The marine species found here are snappers, skipjacks and tuna.
And last, Punta Tracino, also an expert diving. You will find here a huge volcanic rock that reaches 35mts height above the sea level.
