Plan Your Visit to the Cyclopean Isles

Arrive at the meeting point at least 30 minutes before your scheduled dive time for the safety briefing and equipment fitting. Bring your swimwear, towel, valid ID, and diving certification if you hold one. The experience is suitable for divers of all levels, with instructors providing necessary guidance for beginners.

The dive site is not accessible for wheelchair users due to the nature of the rocky coastal access. Hotel pickup is not included, so you'll need to make your own way to the departure point. Sicily offers numerous other coastal adventures if you're exploring the region - consider combining your dive with Mount Etna tours to see the volcano that created this underwater landscape, or explore more of eastern Sicily's attractions.
