SS Coila wreck – Sagunto
British steam freighter torpedoed in 1917 by the German submarine U-64 off Sagunto. The wreck rests in two halves on a sand bed at a maximum depth of 33 m; in good visibility divers can see the keel, propeller and starboard anchor. The Generalitat page calls the dive generally difficult and recommends it for experienced divers only. Position is the map link given on that page.
