Isola delle Femmine – Itinerary west of the islet
Detail
Explore the underwater itinerary on the western side of the islet of Isola delle Femmine, easily reached in a few minutes’ boat ride from the charming local harbour.
Descending to a depth of 18 metres, divers will be greeted by an extraordinary discovery: a Renaissance cannon, known as an “emery”.
Along the way, you will see a four-marre anchor and a lead counter-barrel dating back to Roman times, adding historical fascination to the adventure.
Continuing your exploration, you will encounter another anchor from the 6th-8th century AD and two Roman lead ingots.
Among the late antique/Byzantine artefacts, an iron coral fishing gear stands out, adding further interest and mystery to the underwater itinerary.
