Best for technical divers, 61-77m, boat entry, strong current.
The Andrea Doria is a technical wreck dive located 80 kilometres off the United States coast. The vessel rests upright on a sandy bottom at depths between 61 and 77 metres, with an average depth of 74 metres. This site presents significant challenges, including strong currents, cold water temperatures ranging from 4 to 13 degrees Celsius, and low visibility between 7 and 25 metres. Due to the depth and overhead environment of the deteriorating superstructure, this site is strictly for experienced technical divers. Divers must manage decompression obligations, nitrogen narcosis risks, and potential entanglement hazards. Boat access is required, and surface support is essential for all operations.
