About Marcella

Marcella is a steep Ligurian wreck dive off Framura, where the hull rises almost upright and the bow becomes the main landmark on descent. Treat it as a technical boat dive with careful buoyancy, staged gas planning, and a guide who knows the wreck. Expect encrusting life, gorgonians, and pockets of schooling fish on a site that rewards disciplined wreck divers.
