Capo Mulini Wreck

Capo Mulini is a wreck we always recommend in Ustica, especially for those who appreciate a bit of history with their dive. It’s not a massive wreck, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character and accessibility. The bow section sits upright, really easy to navigate, and the stern is a little deeper, broken up but still very much a wreck, scattered across the seabed. We love how the Mediterranean light filters through the structure, illuminating the nooks and crannies where groupers lurk and moray eels poke their heads out. You’ll find schools of damselfish flitting around the rigging and colourful nudibranchs clinging to the metalwork. It’s a site that tells a story, a cargo ship sunk during WWII, and you can still feel that sense of history as you glide over the deck. Our favourite time to dive it is late morning, when the sun is high, really bringing out the vibrant sponges and anemones that have colonised the wreck. Currents are generally mild here, making it a relaxed dive suitable for open water divers comfortable with a bit of depth and overhead environments.
