Why dive here
Seaplane wreck is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. Water ranges 15-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Seaplane wreck in Alonissos Marine Park offers a different kind of dive for those exploring the Greek islands. It’s a relatively intact wreck, a Junkers 52, which went down during WWII, and now it rests upright on the seabed. We found schools of damselfish darting around the fuselage and often spotted moray eels peeking from beneath the wings. It’s a good one for photographers looking for something beyond rocky reefs, and the depth usually keeps it accessible for most certified divers. There's a certain quiet dignity to it, especially when the light filters down through the water and illuminates parts of the cockpit.
