Why dive here
With 136+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, hammerhead sharks, mobula rays (devil rays), octopuses and sea turtles - HMS INGLEFIELD offers some of Naples & Campania's richest wreck diving.
The HMS Inglefield is a proper wreck, resting upright in 27 metres of water. We think it’s one of the best reasons to dive the Bay of Naples. This destroyer was hit by a glider bomb off Anzio in 1944, and she’s now a huge, impressive structure to navigate. The stern is our favourite part, with the propellers still intact and often a decent school of amberjacks circling above. You can fin along the deck, peer into the torpedo tubes, and imagine the history. There's a real sense of scale here, the metalwork draped in colourful sponges and anemones. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, the light plays beautifully through the superstructure. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and a bit of a current, which sometimes brings in larger pelagics.
