The Nestos was a cargo ship that sank in 1941 due to a German air raid in the port of Patras while carrying medical supplies and food. Today, it is a beautiful wreck with abundant marine life, serving as an artificial reef. Its depth ranges from 24 to 48 meters, as it sank upright with its bow facing downward.

Ideal for swimming

It has a shipwreck

The entry point is easily accessible and convenient, allowing you to park your car just a few meters from the concrete platform leading to the sea.

THE COAST

The sea at this location requires attention for swimmers, as it is rocky with several sea urchins. However, there are flatter areas within a short distance to enjoy your swim.

ENTRY TO THE SEA

The entry is also very easy, with stairs on the platform providing support for your equipment. The only thing to watch out for when entering the sea is the numerous sea urchins among the rocks before the water gets deeper.

THE DIVE

The wreck is straight ahead and to the right from the direction the platform faces. So, if you slightly turn your compass to the northeast and maintain a depth of 15-20 meters, you won’t have difficulty spotting the Nestos protruding. Like most wrecks, there isn’t a specific path to follow. Adjust the dive according to your experience and dive plan as you head towards the bow, reaching greater depths.

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!
