Staphonos Wreck

Dive site in
Improve

Cable Wreck, The ship was originally named The Staphonos. It sunk in 1978 while carrying with it construction materials consisting of steel beams, cable, chain link fence and asbestos sheets, hence, giving it the name of Cable Wreck.

Although it rests 79 feet (24 m) below the surface of the water, it still has sufficient light from above to naturally illuminate the wreck without having to explore with artificial lights.

You will find hundreds of fish taking shelter in the bow of the ship, between mooring ropes, scattered cargo pipes and cables.

On peaceful days, this wreck is easily accessible to divers of all experience levels, but when the current is strong, it becomes a very advanced dive.
