HMS Sportsman

The HMS Sportsman offers a proper wreck dive, a piece of World War II history resting on the seabed off the Medes Islands. We love dropping down onto her deck, imagining the submariners who once navigated these very corridors. There’s a particular feeling you get here, seeing the torpedo tubes and the conning tower still largely intact, despite the decades underwater. It’s not just a big metal tube though; the wreck has become a home, with schools of fish swirling around the hull and the occasional moonfish gliding past. Exploring her feels like stepping back in time, a sombre but fascinating experience for any diver who appreciates maritime history and the way the sea reclaims its own.
