Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - TESEO offers some of Ustica's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Teseo wreck, resting in just 8 meters of water, makes for an accessible dive near Ustica's coast. It's an old merchant ship, largely broken up now, but you can still pick out the bow and stern sections amidst the scattered debris. While it's classified as a dangerous wreck due to its age and state of decay, the shallow depth means it's a great spot for newer divers looking to explore their first wreck, or for photographers wanting some good light. Groupers and various small fish often hide among the metal ribs, making it surprisingly active.
