Water temperatures vary between 14C and 18C, making appropriate thermal protection necessary.

Bring a torch even for daytime dives, as the interior sections are dark enough to warrant one and the marine life around the wreck is more active after dark. Water temperature drops to around 14C at depth, so a 7mm wetsuit or a drysuit is the sensible choice outside the summer months.
Access is via boat from the Portofino Marine Reserve.
