ALBERI (POSSIBLY)

Alberi, or what we strongly suspect is Alberi, is an absolute standout if you’re into your history and a bit of detective work. This wreck lies shallow, around 12 metres, which means you get fantastic bottom time to really explore. We love how the story unfolds as you swim over it – a cargo ship, likely carrying timber, that went down during World War II. You can still make out the large wooden beams scattered across the seabed, almost perfectly preserved in the cooler Mediterranean water. It's a really atmospheric dive. We've spent many a dive here, finning slowly over the skeletal remains of the hull, picturing the moment it sank. The light filters down beautifully through the shallows, illuminating schooling damselfish that dart in and out of the rusted metalwork. Look closely and you'll find plenty of nudibranchs grazing on the encrusting sponges and anemones. It's a peaceful spot now, a fascinating blend of history and nature, and our pick for an easy, contemplative dive where you can truly immerse yourself in the past. It’s perfect for divers who appreciate a wreck with a real sense of narrative, rather than just an artificial reef.
