RODOSTO - Sardinia

The Rodosto wreck, sitting at 36 metres, is a proper dive into history off Sardinia. This steamship went down in 1927, and you can still see the bulk of her, a 91-metre hull that’s become a home for all sorts of Mediterranean critters. We’ve spotted large groupers lurking in the shadows of the old engine room and moray eels peeking out from behind corroded plating. It's a dive that suits those comfortable at depth, offering a real sense of exploration rather than just a quick look.
