Cosala, Badolato Marina
Deep WWII wreck off Badolato Marina on Calabria's Ionian coast
Local operator required

Boat-only deep wreck with separated sections; plan anchor-line control, staged exploration, and conservative gas for experienced divers.
About Cosala, Badolato Marina
Cosala, Badolato Marina is a deep World War II wreck off Calabria's Ionian coast, split into separated sections that are best planned as a staged boat dive rather than one long pass. The bow, stern, and bridge area sit apart on a muddy sandy bottom, so the dive rewards careful descent planning, steady navigation, and enough gas reserve to work the wreck methodically. It suits experienced divers who want a controlled deep wreck rather than a quick scenic swim.
