    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The YDRA wreck off Tabarka is a solid dive, especially for those who appreciate a big piece of history lying on the seabed. This former carrier vessel, a substantial 153.9 meters long, went down in 1983 after a fire, but the crew made it out safely. We’ve found the sheer scale of it impressive; you can spend a good chunk of a dive just exploring the superstructure, which still offers plenty of points of interest. Over the years, the wreck has become a home for various Mediterranean fish, and we often spot schooling fish weaving through the collapsed sections. It’s a great pick for wreck enthusiasts, offering a sense of exploration without being overly challenging.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
