Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - FEDE offers some of Ustica's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Fede, a steamship that went down in 1973, rests upright in 17 meters of water, making it a pretty accessible wreck for most divers. She’s a long vessel, almost a hundred meters, so you won’t see it all in one dive, but the visibility here usually helps you get a good sense of her scale. We like to follow the main deck, spotting moray eels tucked into crevices and schools of sardines shimmering over the hull. Her hold is open in places, offering a chance to peer inside and imagine her last voyage, though it's still classified as dangerous, so no penetration. It's a solid wreck dive, especially for those looking to spend some quality time exploring a single, substantial wreck.
