About this dive site

This dive site is the remains of a First World War French wreck sunk by Turkish artillery in 1917. The wreck sits at a maximum depth of 21 meters (though the description mentions 30 meters, we'll use the confirmed 21 meters here), offering a fascinating historical dive experience. Navigation is straightforward around the relatively well-preserved wreck; divers can explore its structure, noting the still-protected tile work and the various artifacts scattered around, including bomb shells. The depth makes it suitable for intermediate divers.

Marine life here is diverse and abundant. Divers can expect to see various fish species including travellies, rays, and notably, nudibranches. The wreck itself provides a unique habitat supporting a variety of smaller creatures.

The best time to visit this dive site is likely during the warmer months (May to October) when visibility is usually at its best and the water temperature is more comfortable. Strong currents can sometimes be present, so divers should check the weather conditions and current forecasts before heading out. Due to the depth and wreck nature of the dive, it is not suitable for snorkeling or freediving.
