About this spot

The Mohawk Deer is a wreck dive located in Italy within Zona B of a marine protected area. The site offers year-round diving opportunities, making it accessible across all seasons. The wreck attracts divers looking for structure-based exploration and the marine life that settles on submerged vessels over time. Marsh habitat data shows 12 documented species observations at the site, providing insight into the wreck's ecological value. The presence of community videos—three recordings shared by divers—gives you real footage of conditions and wildlife before your visit. These resources help you plan your dive and set expectations for what you'll encounter. Because the site sits within a protected marine zone, local regulations apply. Check with regional dive operators about access requirements, permits, and any restrictions specific to Zona B before booking. Wreck diving requires proper training; confirm your certification level matches the site's technical demands with your dive guide on arrival. The Mohawk Deer rewards divers who respect the protected status and follow site guidelines. Bring an underwater camera or video gear if you want to document your own observations and contribute to the community knowledge base.
