BLUE MIST (POSSIBLY)

The *Blue Mist* is one of those wrecks we keep coming back to. No, it's not a massive freighter, but this sailing vessel, sunk by an explosion in '74, just has a certain charm. Sitting upright in only 18 metres, it’s a brilliant dive for those looking for a relaxed exploration. The visibility here can be surprisingly good, letting you see the whole shape of the hull as you descend, a dark outline against the blue. We love finning slowly along the deck, imagining the final moments. The explosion ripped through the stern, leaving a dramatic tangle of metal and twisted wood. It's an easy swim around the whole structure, and you'll find clouds of damselfish flitting in and out of the broken mast sections. Look closer in the shadows; moray eels often peer out from under the collapsed decking, and the hull is now home to countless tube worms. Our favourite trick is to go early, before the dive boats from Marseille clog the surface. It gives the wreck a quiet dignity it deserves. Bring a good torch; the interior, though small, offers some interesting dark corners for curious eyes. It’s perfect for divers who appreciate history and don't mind a compact, characterful wreck.
