NEKTARIOS

The *Nektarios* is one of those wrecks that just hits right, particularly for newer wreck divers or photographers seeking calm conditions. It’s pretty shallow, sitting at just 5 metres, making it perfect for long bottom times without the deco stress. We love how the light plays on the rusted hull, especially in the late morning when the sun cuts through the water, illuminating the various nooks and crannies. This old motor vessel, grounded back in ’78, is now completely covered in coral growth. You’ll spot schools of fusiliers darting in and out of the superstructure, and we’ve often found lionfish tucked away in sheltered spots, perfectly camouflaged. Our favourite part has to be swimming through the cargo holds; they're open enough to feel safe, but still give you that cool, eerie wreck vibe. It’s a proper photo opportunity, honestly, especially if you catch it when the water is flat calm, which is most of the time here. Just watch for the occasional small current pushing past the exposed bow.
