Shallow Porto-Vecchio wreck visible from the surface and easy for beginners.
Usually visited with a local Porto-Vecchio dive operator when the sea is calm.
A shallow cement carrier just off the exit of Porto-Vecchio gulf, visible from the surface and easy to visit when the sea is calm. The wreck is in good condition, with holds and gangways that can be explored without strain, and the site is known for its simple access, clear structure, and plenty of life around the hull. It works well as a first wreck dive or an easy snorkeling-style look at a historic hull.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch for passing boats near the gulf entrance, avoid enclosed sections if the sea is not calm, and keep an eye on the unmarked rock in rough conditions.
Access Restrictions
Best visited in calm weather; the wreck sits close to the gulf entrance and can be awkward when seas build.
Legal Notes
Keep clear of navigation traffic near the entrance and follow local operator guidance for any hold or gangway exploration.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow wreck suitable for scuba, with the option to visit the holds.
Snorkeling
Calm days let snorkelers see the wreck from the surface and follow the top of the hull, but boat traffic near the entrance deserves attention.
