Why dive here
VOLTA is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. Water ranges 15-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping onto the Volta, you're immediately struck by the sheer scale of the wreck. This isn't just a jumble of metal; it’s a substantial steamship, built in Glasgow, lying broken but still imposing at a surprisingly shallow 0 meters. It’s an unusual sight, given its age and depth. We often find the bow section particularly photogenic, with its chain locker visible and schools of damselfish flitting through the beams. While much of the superstructure is gone, the hull itself, stretching 61 meters, provides plenty to explore, especially for those interested in maritime history.
Safety Notes
