JOYCE - Sardinia

The Joyce, a motor vessel that went down near Isolotto Mal di Ventre in 1973, rests upright at 30 meters. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate a well-preserved wreck rather than just a pile of rubble. We've found the stern section particularly photogenic, with the propeller still intact and often shrouded in schools of damselfish. Look for moray eels tucked into crevices, and we’ve even spotted large scorpionfish camouflaged on the hull. It's a dive that rewards slow exploration, best for confident divers comfortable at depth.
