The SS Coila is a First World War wreck of British origin, sunk in 1917 by the German submarine U-64 while en route from Glasgow to Livorno. The vessel lies at depths between 24 and 35 metres, with an average depth of 30 metres. The wreck is divided into two distinct halves, and the steam boiler remains clearly visible at the site of the torpedo impact. Due to the depth and the nature of the structure, this site is intended for advanced divers. Access is by boat only. Divers should be prepared for potential hazards including decompression requirements, entanglement risks, low visibility, and overhead environments.
