Scoglio dei 3 Fratelli (Cerri Rocks)
depth: -5 to -18 mt
difficulty: easy
currents: rare but open to meteo changes and waves' action
type: granitic rocks, Posidonia, sand
This dive has very scenic walls that surface in what are called the “Cerri Rocks” or “Three Brothers”. Usually it is easier to use the buoy for Omega wreck and swim about 20 meters to start circumnavigating the site. The dive site is a scenic display of Mediterranean rock formation in clear waters. On the eastern portion of the dive after an abandoned fisherman net there are often large groups of barracudas and sometimes, if you look toward the surface, large swarms of garfish. Underneath, toward the bottom, large rocks and hideouts are home to groupers, brown meagres, eels, and scorpion fish. Careful eyes will also see nudibranch and the very small ghost shrimps nearby the protecting anemones.
Punta Levante
depth: -7 to -20 mt
difficulty: easy to intermediate
currents: rare.  Not recommended with NW or SW winds.
type: granitic rocks, Posidonia, sand, canyon
An easy dive site on the east side of Molara island. The site is served by a buoy from where several routes give the opportunity to visit down to a maximum useful depth of 24m. A couple of canyons and rock formations with sand and Posidonia make this a perfect place to look for small organisms. Similar to Punta Arresto but with less anthropic pollution. Off the coast of Molara's Punta Levante, the granite silhouette of the island continues under the water with a series of spurs separated by depressions, channels, and fissures. The rocks are rich in tafoni. In the deep fissures, where often brown meagres swim leisurely, vaults are rich in colours and several invertebrates species concentrate. Here and there it is possible to find yellow sea fans, sea snails, anellids living in colonies forming a complex net of calcareous small cylindrical tubes. In the most illuminated areas wrasses graze on the photophilic seaweeds and it is normal to sight barracudas or, in the summer end, the greater amber-jacks.
Cala Chiesa (Church Bay)
depth: -7 to -18 mt
difficulty: easy
currents: rare
type: granitic rocks, Posidonia, sand
Excellent dive site when the strong south-eastern winds of Scirocco make the many Park sites victim of the wave actions. Here the protected bay is called after the church that was built for the exiled popes sent here around the 10th century. The ruins are still there on the island which is abandoned since the owner (Molara is a private island) cannot afford to pay any longer for a guardian and his family. The dive here develops near the coast where the boat anchors. We follow some large rocks surrounded by Posidonia and sand to find the typical Mediterranean organisms that are always preyed on by the hungry scuba photographers. Eels, octopuses, brown meagres, sea breams, and the ever present groupers will look at you with curious eyes.
Punta Arresto
depth: -5 to -35 mt
difficulty: easy to advanced
currents: rare
type: granitic rocks, Posidonia, sand
There are two buoys here as this site tends to be a very popular dive site. This is due to a large variety of rock formations with beautiful canyons and a large plateau that reaches about -5m (perfect to graze on the safety decompression stop!). The light here is often beautiful especially when looking from down under to the peaks where often barracudas or dentex/snapper fish can be seen hunting for preys. The shadowy areas are inhabited by filtering organisms like sponges and Coelenterata, which make the walls multicoloured: these places are an ideal destination for people fond of underwater photography. After having observed the larger fish and the big groupers that are often right underneath the buoys the shallower area offers plenty of opportunities for many varieties of nudibranch and flat worms. Here many skittish animals like dolphins, mackerels, tuna, greater amber-jack, mobulas can be seen.
Secche del Fico
depth: -5 to -35 mt
difficulty: easy to intermediate
currents: rare
type: granitic rocks, Posidonia, sand
Very large shoals exist around the area of the small island called “FICO”. A buoy is positioned strategically on the south-eastern side of this island and next to Molara providing good protection from the winds and waves during storms. The dives here can follow a clockwise or anticlockwise tour and if you have enough air you can even circumnavigate the island. The area has large granite blocks that form small caves, fissures, and nooks. Inside and around lots of organisms can be observed especially if you have a trained eye. Beautiful CIPREAs, nudibranches, sponges, and even some crinoids like the Antedon. It is common to sight barracudas, groupers, brown meagres, and moray eels. For the best divers there are opportunities to reach some larger rocks that are fairly deep but otherwise the dive is generally within -18mt and easy.
