Siracusa – Le Mazzere

Detail

Explore the underwater wonders of the Plemmirio Marine Reserve with this underwater route. Accessible from the mooring buoy, it offers an exciting experience for both certified open water and advanced divers.

Along the way, surrounded by vibrant marine life and a seagrass meadow of posidonia oceanica, explorers can admire the striking “mazzere”, ancient boulders used for tuna fishing at the Terrauzza tuna fishery.

With historical artefacts such as Roman anchor logs and iron anchors, this dive offers a unique insight into the region’s maritime history.
