KALLIPATEIRA

We’re pretty fond of Kallipateira, even if it’s not the deepest dive around. This old motor vessel, beached in '68 and scuttled on purpose, sits at a friendly 9 metres. It’s perfect for a longer bottom time, letting you really poke around. What we love about it is the sheer size; at 105 metres long, you get a proper sense of a ship, not just a pile of rubble. You can still see the bridge structure, the cargo holds, and even the prop shaft tunnel. It’s a great spot for photographers, especially with the way the light filters through the shallower sections. Look closely for moray eels tucked into the crevices; we’ve spotted some pretty substantial ones here, and the schools of glasseyes are a constant feature. The bow section is our favourite part; it’s largely intact and feels quite dramatic with the sand stretching out in front. It’s an easy dive, so if you’re looking to practice your wreck penetration skills in a safe environment, or just want a relaxed exploration, Kallipateira fits the bill.
