Practical information

This program is designed to extend the practicality of the divers of each level through a supervised and controlled dive using a self-contained breathing apparatus on the open sea in a shipwreck.

Enjoy a FULL DAY DIVING TRIP AT BYRON I shipwreck at Kaloi Limenes Beach, South Crete.

BYRON I was a cargo ship carrying 11.000 tons of sugar. On January 17, 1985 at around 11.30am, all Crete was in the grip of unprecedented bad weather with heavy winds, heavy rain, floods, and cut off communications. BYRON I strayed to the bottom and it was cut in the middle and made salty water…sweet. The crew managed to leave the ship and be saved.

Maximum Training Depth: 12-16m

Certification Prerequisites: OWD

The price includes the lunch in a very nice local tavern after diving.
