Site-specific boat-access summary.
Boat-access artificial reef off Ravenna.
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, restrictions, and access requirements.
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.
