EKO - Tyre

The EKO lies just off Tyre, a motor vessel scuttled in 1976 during the civil war. It sits in a shallow five meters of water, making it a comfortable dive even for those new to wreck exploration. While not a dramatic drop-off, the wreck itself provides plenty to navigate. We particularly like how the shallow depth brings out the colours of the corals and sponges that have claimed the hull. You'll often spot schools of damselfish darting in and out of the metal, and various crabs scuttling across the deck. It’s a nice, easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
