Melania wreck

The Genepesca ship sunk during the Second World War after being hit by a mine. It lies on the sea bed at a depth of about 30 metres. It is split into two halves, not because of the mine damage, but because of a failed recovery attempt.

The presence of a huge rope is proof of this. The two parts of the ship lie 40 metres apart. It is highly recommended that they are visited on two separate dives, although with Nitrox you may do it in one. 

route 1:
The stern half of the ship is about 55 metres long and sits upright in a navigational position. It represents about two thirds of the entire ship and consists of the bridge, funnel, engine room, refrigerating coil and holds. Descend along the anchor (see note). It is normally possible to make a complete tour of the trunk of the ship and to spend a bit of time exploring from the outside.

There are brown meagre, seabream, conger-eels, morays and groupers. It is possible to enter the ship, but only experienced divers should do this, and only with the guide's consent. The use of nitrox is ideal for this dive. The last part of the dive is spent on the bridge or another upper part of the ship. From here you can gain access to the collapsed engine room. 

route 2:
The bow of the ship lies on its right-hand side at a maximum depth of 29 metres. It is about 20 metres long and always conceals a pleasant surprise of some kind. Unfortunately it has been looted over the years, but in among the sand and metal plate there is always inspiration for a good dive. 



Only by boat, preferrably with local dive center.
