About this dive site
This dive site features the Kontesa, a former tourist boat intentionally sunk in 2008 to create an artificial reef. The wreck sits perfectly upright on a sandy seabed and is remarkably intact, making it easy and exciting to explore. It has since been colonized by a wide variety of Mediterranean fauna, becoming a hotspot for macro life.
