Fondali Capo Cozzo - S. Irene
Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - ENRICA offers some of Ustica's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Enrica wreck lies upright at 18 metres, a sunken tugboat now well-colonised by marine life. It’s a straightforward dive, popular for its accessibility and the way the superstructure has become home to schools of damselfish and resident scorpionfish. We find it’s a good spot for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. Watch for the occasional moray eel peering from shadowed corners.
