KT-12 Bow deeper wreck section off Orosei
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.

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.
