The SDSS is committed to a long-term project for the exploration of the seabed of the Syracusan coast between the marine area of ​​Plemmirio and Capo Passero, in the depth range between 50 and 120 meters. The project is carried out in collaboration with the Plemmirio Marine Area and with the Superintendency of the Sea. Until now it has led to the discovery of a C47 plane and a Dornier 24, both shot down in 1943, a medieval wreck with a load of terracotta pottery and a scattering of Greek amphorae from the 4th century BC.

The project is in constant progress.
