The Insuma was a 35-meter-long pleasure yacht requisitioned by the Germans during World War II. Transformed into a German escort ship to hunt submarines, it left Corsica to head north.

The Insuma was a 35-meter-long pleasure yacht requisitioned by the Germans during World War II. Transformed into a German escort ship to hunt submarines, it left Corsica to head north. Torpedoed by the Allies in 1943, the boat ran aground in 40 meters of water. The wreck is located 900 meters from the shore between Porticciolo and Pietra-Corbara, at a depth varying from 39 to 43 meters. Lying flat on the sand, the boat is well preserved: you can see the remains of the cannon on the deck, the two propellers as well as the anchors and their chains. The fauna is abundant: while diving, you can see groupers, forkheads, lobsters, anthias, and sometimes even a large sunfish. This is a dive reserved for level II and III divers, with an impressive descent into open water.
