IRINI
Why dive here
IRINI is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Irini sits in pretty shallow water, just 3 meters deep, which means it’s great for a long bottom time or for divers getting comfortable with wrecks. This old container ship went down in 1991, so it’s had plenty of time to settle and for marine life to move in. You can swim around the deck and superstructure, spotting damselfish darting in and out of the holds and perhaps a grumpy scorpionfish tucked away. The size of the wreck, nearly 80 meters long, makes it quite a substantial explore even in the shallows. We think it’s a solid choice for an easy dive, especially if you're keen on seeing how a wreck becomes part of the reef.
