About this dive site
This dive site features the wreck of 'La Pecorella,' a cement carrier that tragically sank in 1965 after striking reefs near a nearby lighthouse. Located at the exit of the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio and marking the beginning of the Cerbicales Islands reserve, it offers an accessible underwater exploration experience. The deck of the vessel rests approximately 3 meters below the surface, while the seabed is around 12 meters deep. Access to this dive site is restricted to calm weather conditions. Divers can navigate through the wreck’s passageways, enjoying a relatively straightforward descent and exploration. It's a fascinating site for those seeking a glimpse into maritime history.
