Why dive here
DHIAS is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 17-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Dhia, a cargo vessel that went down in the Dodecanese, offers a solid wreck dive in the Mediterranean. Sitting upright at 28 meters, her decks are open for exploration. We’ve found schools of damselfish often swarming the superstructure and moray eels peeking from the holds, a good sign of healthy colonisation. Visibility here tends to be reliable, making it a great option for newer wreck divers looking to get comfortable penetrating an actual ship, though we always recommend proper training for overhead environments. Just be aware of the "dangerous wreck" classification, meaning some parts are unstable.
