Napoli is a classic wreck dive off Mahdia, reached by a short boat ride from the port and often used as an easy first wreck. The former passenger boat has broken down over time, but it still gives a clear wreck profile with open structure, anemones, and small reef life across the hull. It is generally a relaxed, beginner-friendly dive with little current and modest swell, so the main planning variable is sea state and boat access from Mahdia.
