The Express Samina Shipwreck

At 10:20 p.m. on September 26, 2000, the Express Samina hit a rocky islet and sank 2 km (1,2 miles) off the coast of Paros. One of the oldest ferries in the Greek domestic fleet, the Express Samina was built in 1966 and was originally the French SNCM ferry 'Corse'. The vessel operated in Greece from the mid-1980s.

Blue Dome Cavern Dive

Diving just below the boat, with a depth of ­30 meters (98 feet), you will stay close to the island’s reef, observing many different kinds of fish, the flora and the open sea. Then, you will reach the underwater cave with its first entrance ­8 meters (26 feet) below the surface. In the cave, you'll be amazed at the light shining through that originates from another larger opening. Touring the cave, you'll observe the wall laden with soft corals, along with other flora and fauna. At the bottom of the cave, and in some of its more shady corners, you'll see the extraordinary anemones in white and black. Then, you will ascend to the surface inside of the cave where there is a dome with fresh air.

Plane Wreck

The Bristol Type 156 Beaufighter, which is often referred to as 'the Beau', was a British long­range heavy fighter modification of the Bristol Aeroplane Company’s earlier Beaufort torpedo bomber design. The name Beaufighter is a portmanteau of 'Beaufort' and 'fighter'. Unlike the Beaufort, the Beaufighter had a long career and served in the Second World War, first as a night fighter, then as a fighter bomber and eventually replacing the Beaufort as a torpedo bomber. This incredible aircraft wreck will simply blow you away!
