About this dive site

This dive site is the wreck of the San Guglielmo, a luxurious passenger ship sunk in 1918 by a German submarine. It rests on a sandy bottom at a maximum depth of 29 meters, offering a fascinating exploration of a historical artifact. Navigation is straightforward as the wreck is relatively intact and sits on a relatively flat sandy bottom. However, it's important to maintain proper buoyancy to avoid disturbing the delicate marine life and the wreck's structure.

The marine life around the San Guglielmo is remarkably diverse. You can expect to see groupers, corvinas, moray eels, octopuses, conger eels, numerous species of nudibranchs, sea sows, dorids, and many other fish and invertebrates. The wreck itself provides a unique habitat, attracting a variety of creatures.

The best time to visit the San Guglielmo wreck is during the warmer months (May to October) when visibility is typically better, and the water is warmer. This dive is not suitable for beginners due to depth and potential currents. Experienced divers should utilize appropriate safety measures and be prepared for moderate currents. It is crucial to maintain a safe distance and avoid contact with the wreck itself to preserve its condition and not disturb marine life.
