Peschereccio , Wreck

Peschereccio is a wreck dive along the Apulian coast, near Gallipoli in Italy. The site typically features a fishing vessel that lies on a sandy seabed at moderate depths. Access is straightforward from the coast, making it a practical choice for trained divers with a wreck specialty. Expect a stable bottom environment with low to moderate currents and clear to moderately clear visibility typical of Adriatic/Ionian shelf dives. Marine life revolves around common Mediterranean species such as groupers, amberjacks, moray eels, and a variety of damselfish around the wreck, with invertebrates inhabiting the hull and surrounding rubble. Depths are shallow to mid-range, suitable for recreational profiles with proper buoyancy control and careful penetration if the wreck has open holds. Always dive with a local guide to confirm current conditions and any access restrictions or entanglement hazards. Nearby towns like Gallipoli, Galatone, and Nardò provide quick access and services for divers.
