DIMITRIOS (PROBABLY)

The *Dimitrios (Probably)*, near Al Hoceima, sits shallow, a mere 5 metres from the surface, making it an easy, relaxed dive. We love this site for its sheer accessibility; you can spend ages here, just floating above the superstructure. It was a bulk carrier, built in '69, and went down in '83, but it’s the way the sea has taken it back that makes it special. This isn’t a deep, dramatic wreck penetration kind of dive. Instead, it’s all about the light and the life that thrives on the metal skeleton. Shoals of small fish shimmer through the gaps in the collapsed deck, and we've spotted moray eels peeking out from behind rusted bulkheads. It’s ideal for photographers, or anyone who just wants to spend an hour or two really observing a wreck transform into a reef. The visibility here is often fantastic, letting the Mediterranean sun illuminate the entire wreck, creating a beautiful contrast between the old steel and the vibrant new life. Our favourite spot is hovering just over the bow, watching the fish swirl around the anchor chains, feeling that gentle surge.
