Reggio Messina (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(2,391)
The Reggio Messina was built in Italy in 1970. It is a 122m long ferry. It sank in 1991 to make it an artificial reef. It is located on a sandy bottom at 35 meters, so it will be better to visit by the superior structure. It is now broken into 3 pieces.
Snappers, damselfish and some sargos are the most common inhabitants outside the Reggio Messina, inside we can see lobsters, octopus and even conger eels.
