KT-12 Bow deeper wreck section off Orosei
Practically, this is handled as a guided boat excursion from Cala Gonone.
KT-12 Bow is the detached bow section of a WWII cargo wreck in the Gulf of Orosei, dived as a guided offshore boat outing with preserved steelwork, open deck space, and a classic wreck layout. It suits experienced scuba divers who want a historical wreck section rather than a loose reef swim, and it rewards slow, controlled movement around the structure.

Summer is the most stable window, but visibility can swing with currents and the site can feel more exposed offshore than in the bay.

Scuba Diving
Best for Advanced Open Water-equivalent divers on a guided boat run. The value is the preserved bow section and the controlled route around the wreck.
Freediving
Not a freedive target; the depth and wreck structure make it a scuba-only site.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel spot; the wreck sits well below surface-recreation depth.
