Why dive here
EPIROS is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. Water ranges 15-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Epiros, lying in the Alonissos Marine Park, offers a quiet dive on a mid-sized carrier vessel. She went down in 1970, and at 77 metres long, there’s plenty of superstructure to explore. We found the stern particularly interesting, with the propeller still in place and schools of fish darting through the broken sections. Maximum depth is a comfortable 19 metres, making it accessible for open water divers looking to experience a proper wreck without deep dive demands. Expect the usual Mediterranean residents – groupers lurking in shadowy corners, maybe a moray eel peeking out from a porthole. It’s a good, solid wreck dive, especially if you appreciate the history behind these sunken ships.
