This dive site explores the La Flotta peschereccia di Chioggia, Italy’s largest fishing fleet. Historically, this area relied on bragozzi and tartana sailing vessels for its fishing operations. Today, modern fishing boats equipped with advanced technology operate here, although these advancements sometimes fail to prevent accidents at sea. The dive offers a glimpse into the region's maritime heritage while exploring underwater environments.
