Located 900 metres offshore between Porticciolo and Pietra-Corbara, the wreck remains well-preserved, with identifiable features including the remains of a deck-mounted cannon. Due to the depth and potential for variable currents, this site is strictly for advanced divers. Access is exclusively by boat. Divers should remain vigilant regarding boat traffic in the area.
