Relitto Kingstown / Kingdom is a shallow wreck off Guardavalle.
Relitto Kingstown / Kingdom is a shallow wreck off Guardavalle on a sandy seabed, split into two sections after the 1993 sinking. The hull now carries sponge and bryozoan growth and regularly attracts typical Mediterranean fish life. Its mild geometry makes it useful for compass drills and easy route-finding, with a simple rock-to-sand profile that stays readable for relaxed recreational dives.
