The BR-20 wreck in Liguria, Italy, is a deep-water site reaching a maximum depth of 47 metres. This wreck is suitable only for advanced divers, as the depth necessitates careful management of nitrogen narcosis and decompression protocols. The structure is colonised by gorgonians and sponges, providing a habitat for various reef fish and invertebrates. Divers should expect variable visibility and must use a boat to access the site. Due to the depth and potential for nitrogen narcosis, carrying a surface marker buoy and conducting thorough pre-dive briefings with a guide are essential. Water temperatures range from 14C to 17C throughout the year.
