ENDERS M VOORHEES - Alonissos Marine Park

Alright, so the Enders M Voorhees. This isn't your typical dive, given it broke loose during a tow to the scrapyard and now sits in just a meter of water. It's an enormous bulk carrier, nearly 200 meters long, and while you won't be finning through deep holds, it makes for a rather unique snorkel or freedive. You’ll find the upper sections of the superstructure and deck plating just breaking the surface, encrusted with barnacles and small algae. It’s more of an unusual historical marker than a reef, perfect for a surface exploration on a calm day, offering a different kind of insight into the sea's power.
