Among the most exciting diving tours in Cala Gonone is certainly the one involving the KT 12 wreck.

During the briefing before the dive, our instructors will tell you the full story of this massive wreck: the Nazi armed cargo ship was sunk by the British submarine Safari on May 10, 1943, off Marina di Orosei. The British torpedo split the hull in two, separating the bow from the rest of the ship. The wreck is remarkably well-preserved, with the stern gun clearly visible, and you can admire the propeller and rudder, still in perfect condition.

During the dive, you’ll see the tear caused by the torpedo, the cargo holds, and nearby, the skeletons of various armored vehicles. Typically populated by large groupers and moray eels, there’s also a chance to spot various marine species including scorpionfish, lobsters, sea cicadas, sea bass, and triggerfish.

If you love history and are always seeking the thrill of adventure, this tour rich in memories of the past is definitely for you!
