About San Guglielmo (Wreck)

San Guglielmo (Wreck) is Loano's historic wreck dive, with the remains of a once-luxury passenger ship spread over sand just offshore. The wreck is largely stripped back to an open steel skeleton, so the dive is a straightforward tour of beams, plates, and scattered structure rather than a penetration site. Plan it as a boat-based scuba dive with regulated local access and a calm-sea bias. The wreck reliably holds Mediterranean fish life, especially groupers, morays, conger eels, octopus, and nudibranchs.
