Thanks to its mineral-rich volcanic landscape, Sicily’s waters are full of life. And you’ll get a chance to explore them on this half-day scuba diving trip. After making your own way to the port in Giardini-Naxos, you’ll set off on a cruise along the coast, past the town of Taormina with the mighty Mount Etna looming in the background, to an island nature reserve called Isola Bella. Literally translated as ‘beautiful island’, this is a good spot for clocking wildlife. The boat will moor in the Grotta Azurra and Grotta Del Giorno sea caves, where you’ll slip into scuba gear and dive in. Expect to see various types of fish, sea urchins, starfish, shrimp and eels. Then, it’s back on the boat to return to the port.
