Byron I Shipwreck
★★★★★
(143)
The ship wreck is lying at the depth of 12-16 m. and suitable for all levels of divers. BYRON I was a cargo ship carrying 11.000 tons of sugar. The bad weather in the area caused the wreck of the cargo ship on January of 1985, which turned the salty sea water temporarily into “sweet“ water.
Around Byron wreck you will meet octopuses, moray eels, large school of fish, amber jacks, groupers and lion-fish.
