Relitto KT-12 (KT12 Wreck)

The KT-12 lies about 1.2 nm off the open east coast of Sardinia at the mouth of the Gulf of Orosei, with the island bulk to the west sheltering it from the dominant Mistral/Tramontana (NW-N) and Libeccio (SW), which blow offshore here and leave the sea calm. The exposed window is the open Tyrrhenian Sea to the east and southeast: Scirocco (SE), with the longest fetch across to the Italian mainland, builds the biggest waves, and Levante/Grecale (E-ENE) is fully open, so an easterly or southeasterly blow raises swell and surface chop over the wreck. The headland toward Capo Comino trims the NE-NNE sector, and everything from the northwest through west to southwest is shadowed by land, making the site a fair-weather dive that is called off in easterly weather.
