Dive-site story
Sunk after striking Amarides Reef in 1981, this Dutch-built cargo vessel lies in two sections between Naxos and Paros. The stern rests upright on a sandy slope with swim-throughs around the engine room and deck machinery, while schooling fish gather around the broken bow. Sunlight reaches the entire wreckage through the Aegean water.
