Hi Divers,
I'd like to open this Monday' post with some informations about what we will find diving in the Ferdinandea Island...We are preparing also a big sourprise for you, you can't imagine what you will find in the middle of the Sicily Strait...something really unbeliveable!!!
Enjoy!

Today Ferdinandea is one of the best diving sites in the Mediterranean. Suitable for more experienced divers due to a constant presence of currents. Being able to dive at Graham is an opportunity not to be missed. In fact this pinnacle offers a remarkable biodiversity and it could be seen as an example of how the Mediterranean Sea was  before the anthropization. When you get into the water you’ll notice the pinnacle of the hat with a wide plateau at about 6 feet from the surface. At the edge of the floor the walls drop straight into the blue, along which we can see between the nooks and dens multicolored sponges between gorgonian fans of considerable size. Often around the flat you can see large pelagics such as kingfish and tuna hunt. With a little 'luck, one can find the presence of the king of the sea, the shark. Thresher sharks and blue sharks are often found to share the banquet on the bench, but it is still quite rare to meet them although I have been several sightings were reported. Going down the wall between 25 and 30 meters you can still shoot branches of corals that escaped the raids of sea pirates. During the dive, the gaze is lost amid constant wonders: multi-colored nudibranchs, soft corals, cerianthus, moray eels, lobsters and many other jewels of the sea that offer a delightful sight.
