Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - ENOS offers some of Ustica's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The ENOS wreck, sitting in just 5 metres of water, is a perfect, relaxed dive when the sun's high and you’re looking for something gentle. This old motor vessel, sunk back in 1970, stretches out at a generous 67 metres, making for a substantial structure to explore in such shallow depths. Even after all these years, you can still trace the outline of its hull and parts of its superstructure. We’ve seen octopuses tucked into crevices, schools of damselfish flitting through the open sections, and often a grumpy moray eel peeking from a dark corner. It’s a great site for photographers, especially when the light streams down onto the metal, creating some striking contrasts.
