    The Samson lies deep, a barge vessel at 50 metres, making it a dive for experienced deep divers. Visibility is generally good, allowing you to appreciate the scale of the wreck as you descend. What it lacks in intricate structure, it makes up for in resident fish life, with groupers often found lurking in its shadows. This site is a solid choice if you're keen on seeing a substantial wreck in the Alonissos park.
