About this dive site

This dive site features the impressive wreck of the Italian WWII transport ship, Taranto. Sunk by a mine in 1943 while carrying tractors and flour, the ship now rests on a sloping sandy bottom. The wreck is largely intact and provides a fantastic historical dive, with its cargo of tractor engines still visible on the seabed.
