Why dive here
ARIS is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. Water ranges 15-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Aris wreck sits upright at 22 metres, a former fishing vessel now slowly collapsing onto itself. It's a sombre dive, with the main structure largely intact but the upper decks deteriorating fast. We’ve found barracuda often patrolling the bow, and plenty of nudibranchs clinging to the hull. This site is best for divers with some wreck experience who appreciate the quiet beauty of a wreck returning to the sea.
