FULMAR TRADER (POSSIBLY)

Okay, so the Fulmar Trader. What a beast. We love a good shipwreck, and this one, sitting upright in Ustica’s blue, is a proper dive. Drop down and you’re immediately enveloped by the scale of it. This isn't some scattered debris field, it’s a whole ship, almost 100 meters long, resting in the sand at 35 meters. The bridge area is our favourite, often swarming with schools of barracuda, their silver bodies flashing in unison as you approach. We’ve seen giant groupers here too, territorial old souls peering from shadowed doorways. Exploration is key; you can really get a sense of its past as a working vessel. We always recommend bringing a good torch. The deeper sections of the deck, even with Ustica’s generally good visibility, can feel quite moody, which adds to the atmosphere. While it’s deep, the lack of strong current here makes it approachable for confident advanced divers. Just keep an eye on your bottom time.
