C. while in Marettimo, at a depth of 15 m, we can admire the cannons of an 18th-century shipwreck. Almost in front of <strong>Marsala<\/strong>, it is possible to visit a submerged cargo. Still in the Trapani area, at <strong>San Vito <\/strong><strong>Lo Capo<\/strong>, at a depth of 15 metres, we can admire a load of lava stone millstones and a sunken wreck from the 1970s (this, however, is at a depth of 40 m).<\/p>\n<p>Along the northern coast of Sicily, in <strong>Scopello, Mongerbino and Cefal\u00f9<\/strong>, qualified divers can visit medieval remains, tuna fishery anchors and a pier submerged in the 4th century AD.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on to the southern tip of Sicily, in <strong>Marzamemi (SR)<\/strong>, at a few meters in-depth, we can see Roman columns from the 3rd century AD. They are really huge: about six and a half metres long by two metres in diameter. A few kilometres away, in <strong>Portopalo di Capo Passero<\/strong>, at a depth of 7 metres, it is possible to observe an impressive load of marble. Not far away, at a depth of 40 metres, we also discover other wrecks of Greek amphorae.<\/p>\n<p>In the depths of <strong>Taormina<\/strong>, we find Thirty-seven columns dating from the 2nd century AD. Finally, still on the east coast, in <strong>Acitrezza<\/strong>, we discover an underwater experience for the <strong>blinds<\/strong>. A special route, developing at a depth of about 18 metres, where the blinds can touch the reproductions of resin amphora.
