Why dive here
CHRYSANTHI (PROBABLY) is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. Water ranges 15-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Chrysanthi wreck, likely the Chronis III, gives you that classic Aegean wreck dive feeling. She lies broken in two pieces at 20 metres, shallow enough for good bottom time, which we always appreciate. We found the stern section particularly photogenic, draped in sponges and anemones, with schools of barracuda often hanging in the blue just off the deck. Exploring the holds, you’ll likely spot conger eels poking out from crevices and plenty of small scorpionfish camouflaged on the plating. It's a relaxed dive, currents are usually mild, making it perfect for newer wreck divers or photographers wanting to take their time. Our favourite part? Seeing how the Mediterranean has slowly reclaimed her, a true artificial reef bustling with life.
