Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - KENT offers some of Ustica's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The KENT is a proper dive, a deep wreck for experienced hands off Ustica. This motor vessel went down in '78 after an engine room fire, and she now rests upright at 48 meters, her stern section pretty much intact. You can fin along the main deck, observing how the Mediterranean has started to reclaim the metal, with schools of barracuda often circling the superstructure. It's a sombre, quiet exploration, ideal for those who appreciate history and the slow creep of marine life over man-made structures.
