About this dive site

This dive site, HMS Scylla, is a fascinating artificial reef located on the seabed. It was intentionally sunk in 2004 and has since developed into a well-established wreck dive. The area surrounding the wreck is covered with kelp and coral, creating a vibrant habitat for a diverse range of marine life. Careful penetration is possible within the wreck itself. The maximum depth of this dive is approximately 23 meters, making it suitable for divers of various experience levels. A torch is essential for exploring the interior. Expect to encounter fish in abundance.
