RORO DANIA - Zakynthos & Ionian Islands

The RORO Dania, a roll on-roll off ferry, met its end near Zakynthos in 1986 after a fire, and now rests in surprisingly shallow water, making it quite accessible. We found her at just 2 meters, a unique proposition for a wreck of her size, 105 meters long. You can spend a good while just finning over the vast deck, picking out details of the superstructure and imagining her working life. It's not a site for big pelagics, but look closely and you’ll spot plenty of blennies, gobies, and small crustaceans that have made the metal their home, often darting in and out of the nooks and crannies. It's a fascinating site for photographers or anyone keen to explore a substantial wreck without needing to go deep.
