San Vito and Castellammare are respectively the tip and the beginning of a huge rocky cape made of carbonate rocks. Herein is located the Zingaro Nature Reserve. Such geological nature is responsible of the presence of several wonderful caves, wherein sea and fresh water often meet creating magic effects.
At the north-eastern side of the cape, an 80-meter long cargo sank in 1978 because of a fire: the Kent. For the same reason the Capua sank too in 1943 further south. These shipwrecks will fascinate the wreck-lover divers.
Besides, this coast hosts many luxuriant shallows full of life such as Cala Rossa, and walls with sea fans such as Punta Negra, where some red coral (Corallium rubrum) branches are visible too.
Finally, there are two underwater archaeology dive sites, with amphoras, anchors, and pottery dating from the ancient Greece to the Middle Ages.
The underwater potential is overall huge, although only a few divers know it. This allows us to dive away from the crowds even in the heart of the summer.
In San Vito we collaborate with Marcello and Carla’s Sea Diver center. We usually make a 2-tank dive in the morning with a fully-equipped rubberboat departing from the small harbor, a few steps away from the awesome sandy beach.
