EUROBULKER X - Alonissos Marine Park

There’s something about the sheer scale of the Eurobulker X that gets us every time. This isn't just another wreck; it's a colossal piece of modern maritime history, broken cleanly in two, almost like a sculpture on the seabed. Dropping down to 31 metres, you’re immediately struck by the immense structure, its mast still reaching up, a skeletal finger pointing towards the surface. We love how the Mediterranean light filters through, illuminating the vast cargo holds and giving the whole scene an almost ghostly feel. Exploring the Eurobulker X is an exercise in perspective. The bow and stern sections, separated by a rubble field, offer distinct experiences. We often find ourselves drifting along the deck, imagining the daily life on board, while schools of damselfish now flit through the old crew quarters. Look closely and you’ll spot scorpionfish tucked into crevices and moray eels peeking from pipes, their new homes. Our favourite part has to be the bridge area – it’s a tight squeeze in places, but the sheer amount of detail still visible, from instrumentation panels to communication gear, is incredible. This site suits divers comfortable with depth and who appreciate a wreck with a story. Pick a calm day for the best visibility; the sheer size deserves to be seen clearly from end to end.
