Anna Bianca, wreck is a historic deep wreck dive.
Boat access, a marked descent, and local park rules make an authorized operator the practical default.
Historic cargo-ship wreck on the Giannutri side of Cala Ischiaiola, split into two main sections with a well-preserved stern and a more broken bow. The appeal is the mix of structure and life: wreck plates, sand, and gorgonians draw moray eels, conger eels, lobsters, shrimps, and other reef fish, while the clear water makes the whole outline easy to appreciate. This is a guide-led deep wreck dive for experienced scuba planning, not a casual swim-around.
