About this dive site

This dive site is the wreck of the Paguro gas platform, which exploded and sank in 1965, creating a vast artificial reef. Its complex, mangled structure is now a biological protection zone, attracting a high concentration of marine life unique to the Adriatic Sea. The main sections of the wreck lie at depths that require advanced certification to fully explore.
