Boat-access artificial reef off Ravenna.
Relitto della Piattaforma Paguro is a boat-access artificial reef off the Ravenna coast in the upper Adriatic. The old methane platform has become a biologically rich wreck with a shallow top and a deeper platform structure, so the site suits guided wreck dives that want clear water, solid visibility, and a controlled profile rather than a long current-driven swim. It is a strong choice for divers who want wreck texture, reef-like growth, and a protected Adriatic setting.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Offshore boat access, depth changes, and wreck structure call for disciplined buoyancy and conservative gas planning.
Access Restrictions
Treat Paguro as an operator-coordinated boat dive in a biologically protected area rather than a casual shore swim-in.
Legal Notes
Follow biological-protection-area rules and local access guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Wreck/platform dive with a focus on marine life around the structure.
Freediving
Not a freedive site; the offshore wreck needs scuba planning and boat support.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not a good fit here; the value is the wreck structure below the surface.
