KASSANDRA WRECK

On March 2, 1973, the ship “Kassandra” sank in the southern Evian Gulf after colliding with rocks due to a navigational error.

The wreck is upright at the end of the island’s rocks, resting on a sandy seabed, parallel to an underwater wall. The maximum depth of the wreck is 30 meters, with the shallowest part at around 20 meters. This is a beautiful wreck dive, offering relatively shallow depths and excellent visibility most of the time.

In reality, it is half of the original ship, as the “cuts” on the wreck show signs of past cutting and salvage operations. The remaining section is from the midship to the stern.

The wreck offers several interesting penetrations, with the most notable being the engine room area. With great care, divers can navigate around the main engine, which remains in excellent condition.

As an artificial reef, the wreck has attracted a wide variety of marine life. The hull is home to large schools of fish, such as bream and scorpionfish, as well as a large number of microorganisms, crustaceans, mollusks, and occasional visits from schools of jackfish.

This site is recommended for advanced divers and above.
