Ship Y 21 - Ksamil
The Ship Y 21 is a dangerous wreck, sitting upright on the seabed at 25 metres. We found strong currents are common here, making this a site best suited for experienced divers. There isn't much in the way of coral, but we've seen schools of damselfish and small groupers living in the holds and around the propeller. It’s a proper wreck dive for those who enjoy exploration over reef colours.
