About Relitto Bolzaneto
Historic Italian cargo steamship wreck off Bonassola, split into two sections on a deep sandy bottom and suited to experienced technical divers. The stern carries a gun, propeller, and rudder, while the forward section is more broken away, so the dive rewards patient positioning, clean buoyancy, and a calm boat window more than hard swimming.
