About This Dive Spot
The Giuseppe Dezza is an Italian minesweeper that was constructed in 1913 and met its end in 1944 after being struck by a British aircraft during a reconnaissance mission. The vessel, originally named 'Pilade Bronzetti' until 1929, was split in two by a torpedo, resulting in the bow and stern being approximately fifty yards apart on the seabed. Divers will find the stern section particularly interesting, as it remains upright and features a visible cannon along with preserved military equipment.
