TRE FRATELLI F - Corsica
Tre Fratelli F, tucked away in Corsica, is one of those wrecks that just makes you smile. It’s not about big depths – maxing out at 20m, it’s a perfectly comfortable dive. This is a non-dangerous wreck, meaning penetration is out, but the character of the site makes up for it. We love how the hull is broken, spilling cargo like ceramic tiles and glass bottles across the seabed. It’s like a sunken still life. Swimming through the open sections, the light plays beautifully, picking out moray eels in shadowy corners and octopuses tucked into crevices. The wreck has become a home, absolutely covered in bright sponges and delicate gorgonians. Keep an eye out for schools of damselfish that shimmer around the superstructure. Our favourite part is lingering over the scattered debris, imagining the ship's last moments. It’s a site that really suits divers who appreciate history and close-up exploration, rather than just zooming past. Dive it slow, take your time.
