About this site
Relitto Asia is a wreck dive off Civitavecchia in Italy. The Asia was a large dredger about 56 metres long and 11 metres wide, built in the Netherlands in 1956, which was cut in two and deliberately sunk on 4 April 1987, probably as a deterrent to trawling.
The dive site known as Asia is really only the stern section, with its stern castle and funnel, broken off at the height of the two chimneys. It rests upright on a muddy bottom at about 37 metres, leaning slightly onto its port side. Divers descend along a shot line buoy anchored to the deck at about 27 metres, and depending on visibility it is possible to enter the engine room.
