NEVADA
Why dive here
NEVADA is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Nevada wreck in Gozo is one of our favourites for a proper deep dive. She’s a motor vessel, sunk in 1979, resting upright on the seabed at 50 metres. When you descend, the sheer size of her emerges from the blue, a substantial 57 metres long. We love tracing the deck, seeing the superstructure still largely intact, and peering into the holds. You’ll often find large dentex cruising past, and schools of barracuda frequently hang above the mast. The visibility here is usually excellent, which is a blessing at this depth. We’d suggest saving this one for a calm day, as the surface conditions can be tricky getting out to the site, and it’s a dive that rewards a relaxed approach. It’s a dive for experienced deep divers, offering a chance to really appreciate a large, well-preserved wreck and the marine life that now calls it home.
