Best for technical divers, 60m, boat entry.
Banffshire is a technical dive site in Campania, Italy, featuring a wreck resting against a wall and drop-off. Situated at a constant depth of 60 metres, this site requires trimix certification and meticulous decompression planning. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres, allowing for observation of the wreck structure and surrounding vertical topography. Water temperatures fluctuate between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius, necessitating robust thermal protection. Divers must manage nitrogen narcosis risks and use a surface marker buoy due to frequent boat traffic overhead. Access is strictly by boat, with typical bottom times around 25 minutes. The habitat supports various Mediterranean reef fish and invertebrates.
