San Guglielmo (Wreck) - Portofino & Liguria
The San Guglielmo rests upright at 29 meters, a good intermediate wreck dive off Portofino. Its superstructure is still quite intact, providing plenty of swim-throughs and sheltered spots for lobsters and conger eels. We often find schools of damselfish hovering over the decks, and the penetration opportunities are straightforward for those with the right training. This is a solid dive for wreck enthusiasts looking for an accessible Mediterranean wreck.
