About this dive site

This dive site, Mariana, is a wreck dive located off the coast of Greece. Divers begin near a reef, descending to approximately 15 meters before crossing a sandy bottom to reach the wreck's open facade. Exploration starts at the stern, the deepest point at 21 meters. The dive involves navigating from the reef to the wreck and exploring the wreck itself, requiring some experience in underwater navigation and wreck penetration awareness. The dive follows a planned route, offering a structured exploration of the site.

The marine life at Mariana is diverse and abundant. Healthy coral growth provides habitat for numerous nudibranchs and worms, contributing to the site's vibrant colors. A variety of fish species can be seen, along with the potential for larger creatures depending on the season. Specific fish species will depend on the local fauna and time of year.

The best time to visit Mariana is likely during the warmer months (May-October) when the water is warmer and visibility is typically best. Divers and freedivers should check local conditions before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly. A dive guide is recommended for first-time visitors to this site given that it is a wreck dive and involves careful navigation.
