Minevaska wreck is a guided Chania boat dive that gives certified divers a short, historical wreck stop without a technical profile. The remaining section sits in shallow water, so the dive is more about structure, easy navigation, and Mediterranean life than long penetration. Plan on a morning boat program with good visibility and a comfortable depth range. Expect sponges, soft corals, anemones, snapper, wrasse, damselfish, grouper, and small reef fish around the wreck.
