Beneath the Norman castle of Acicastello, an extensive landslide of large basalt boulders ends on a sandy seabed, rich in crevices and small canyons, shelters for wrasses, groupers, and scorpionfish.

Featuring easy shore access, this breathtaking basin sheltered by the iconic Acitrezza sea stacks offers an unparalleled underwater experience. The seascape combines striking volcanic rock formations with sandy patches and lush Posidonia seagrass meadows.

The Cyclops Islands are located in a Marine Protected Area only 150 meters from shore off of the seaside village of Aci Trezza near Catania, Sicily, Italy. Ranging from 2-25 meters deep, it is a diver’s and snorkeler’s paradise with volcanic seabeds teeming with an abundance of marine life.

About 150 meters off the coast of Aci Trezza, three rounded basalt outcrops rise from a sandy seabed at depths between 14 and 24 meters. The dive is easily accessible both from shore and by boat, and local currents often ensure excellent visibility.

Starting with a descent along the line down to 20 meters, the route winds through sand and rock, with a bottom depth ranging between 22 and 15 meters. What truly sets this site apart is a continuous guideline that accompanies you throughout the entire dive, leading you to discover ancient artifacts.

Facing the Capomulini lighthouse, easily reachable by boat from Acitrezza, the area offers both a plateau and a reef, allowing dives at both 15 m and 35 m.
