THE DIVE

This specific archaeological site covers a larger area, with more than one route designed. One of these routes can be explored by divers with an Open Water certification. Depths range from 10 to 27 meters, and the integration of the shipwreck elements into the underwater landscape adds interest. Maintain a respectful distance from artifacts and amphorae. Photography is allowed for personal use only across all archaeological sites.

Diving into the depths of Glaros provides a captivating experience, allowing divers to explore the remnants of a Byzantine shipwreck and witness the historical artifacts beneath the sea. Follow the guidelines, cherish the history, and enjoy the immersive journey into the past.

SAFETY FIRST!

Σε κάθε κατάδυση ακολουθήστε το πλάνο που έχετε συζητήσει από πριν με τον buddy σας. Μην υπερβαίνετε τα προσωπικά σας όρια και τα όρια της εκπαίδευσής σας, ενώ αν είστε κουρασμένοι ή έχετε ξενυχτήσει την προηγούμενη, θα ήταν ίσως προτιμότερο να καταδυθείτε κάποια άλλη φορά.Καλές αναδύσεις!
