THEONIKA - Portofino & Liguria

The Theonika wreck lies almost entirely exposed, a stark reminder of that heavy weather in ’78 when she dragged anchor. At just 3m, this motor vessel is an easy, shallow dive. You’re essentially snorkelling over the superstructure, but don’t let that deter you; it’s fascinating to see how the Mediterranean has reclaimed her. Schools of damselfish flit through the rusted frames, and we’ve spotted small octopus tucked into crevices. It’s a perfect second dive or a relaxed afternoon exploring a piece of maritime history.
