Boat-based wreck dive on Makronisos with a current-sensitive profile, reef-edge structure, and distinct bow and stern sections.

About Apollonia wreck

Apollonia wreck is a broken cargo-wreck dive on the Trypiti Reef side of Makronisos, where the bow and stern now read as separate sections instead of one intact hull. The site rewards divers who like reef-edge structure, propeller and deck details, and a route that can feel very different once current picks up. Calm seas and a good boat briefing matter more here than raw depth, because this is a current-sensitive wreck dive rather than an easy sightseeing stop.
