Evdokia, wreck

We love the Evdokia. It’s one of those wrecks that just feels right, especially if you’re new to poking around sunken ships. Sitting upright at 22m, she’s a steamship that went down in 1944 after hitting a mine, and you can still feel that history as you glide over her decks. The visibility here is usually pretty good, often 15m plus, letting you take in the whole silhouette before you even descend. What makes the Evdokia a standout for us is how approachable she is. You can easily swim through the cargo holds, where shafts of light pierce the gloom, illuminating thick clusters of jewel anemones. Look for scorpionfish camouflaged against the rust, and often, schools of juvenile damselfish flitting nervously in the shadows. Our favourite part is lingering around the stern, where the prop shaft is still visible, and a resident conger eel sometimes peeks out from its hidey-hole. It’s a proper wreck dive without any of the challenging currents or deep depths that can make others feel intimidating.
