A local operator is recommended for boat access, mooring, site briefing, and qualification control for any interior route.
M/V Giannoula K. - Plimmiri is a large cargo-ship wreck off southeast Rhodes, reached by a short boat run from Plimmiri or longer day trips from the Lindos/Pefkos area. The wreck sits on sand with its upper structure rising close enough for a relaxed exterior tour, while holds and engine-room areas make a second, more advanced profile possible. It is a high-interest Mediterranean wreck with sponges, schooling fish, and generally clear water, but any interior route should be treated as wreck penetration and matched to training.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
2m - 22m
Depth Note
Operator and directory profiles place the mast/top structure very shallow, main deck around the mid-teens, and the deepest sand/bow area around 21-22 m.
Best Season
Rhodes diving is practical for much of the year, with the easiest boat logistics and warmest water in the main Mediterranean dive season.
Typical Conditions
Expect clear Mediterranean water, a sandy seabed, and a large intact wreck profile. Wind and boat scheduling are usually more important than current for day planning.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Exterior routes are approachable for qualified divers, but holds and engine-room sections are overhead environments. Use a qualified guide, lights, clear gas limits, and avoid any penetration beyond certification and equipment.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is required. Trips commonly start from Plimmiri, Lardos, Pefkos, or Lindos-area operators, with interior portions limited by qualification and guide judgment.
Legal Notes
No site-specific legal closure was identified for this recreational wreck. Follow Greek diving rules, protected-area instructions where applicable, and the operator's wreck-penetration limits.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The exterior tour works well for open-water certified divers with good buoyancy, while the second-dive interior or engine-room profile should be reserved for advanced or wreck-trained divers.
