DICK
Why dive here
With 77+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses and sea turtles - DICK offers some of Medes Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-24°C, warmest July, August, September.
The DICK wreck sits upright at 15m, a compact vessel that’s easy to explore. Its small size means you can circumnavigate it several times, spotting conger eels peeking from crevices and schools of damselfish flitting through the superstructure. It's a straightforward dive, good for newer wreck enthusiasts looking for an accessible introduction without strong currents or complex navigation.
