  • Summary

  • The Andrea Doria is considered one of the most dangerous wrecks to dive. At least 22 scuba divers have lost their lives diving on the wreck. Almost since the day it sank, the Andrea Doria has been a beacon for treasure hunters and adventure seekers. It offers the lure of history, artifacts — and danger.

    Diving conditions at the wreck site are considered very treacherous. Strong currents and heavy sediment can reduce visibility to zero and pose serious hazards to diving, making it hard to navigate around the 700 foot long ship. Holes in and out of the Andrea Doria have opened and closed through the years on the decaying wreck, making it easy to get lost and disoriented. Thick fishing nets drape over the hull of the ship. An invisible web of thin fishing lines, which can snag scuba gear, pose another danger. The ship’s depth also puts it well below the limit recommended for recreational divers.
