Why dive here
With 44+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles - SPERLONGA offers some of Costa Brava's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 13-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sperlonga is a shallow wreck, resting at just 6 metres, making it a good option for a relaxed second dive or for divers new to exploring wrecks. This old tanker, sunk in 1970, broke into a few main sections, but there’s enough still discernible to give you a sense of its past. We’ve seen good-sized schools of damselfish here, darting through the openings, and the occasional octopus tucked away in a crevice. It’s certainly not a deep or sprawling wreck, but for a quick dip into history and some easy critter spotting, it ticks the box.
