The wreck is unique as it is partly visible above the water surface, making it an excellent landmark for orientation. While specific historical details are not provided, it is a well-known local wreck that serves as a focal point for the dive, perfect for exploring its structure both inside and out for experienced divers, or simply circumnavigating for beginners.
The marine life around the Marie wreck is vibrant, particularly with small fish and abundant vegetation. Divers can expect to encounter species such as two-spotted goby, various sticklebacks, and European flounder, all thriving in and around the wreck's structure. The rich plant growth also provides habitat and photographic opportunities for macro enthusiasts.
This site is ideal for families and mixed groups, including snorkelers, due to its shallow depth and accessibility.
