Boat-access wreck and reef dive on Lefteris Reef.
Boat-access wreck and reef dive on Lefteris Reef.
Boat access and weather windows make a local Skiathos or Pelion operator the practical default.
Myrmix and Lefteris – the VERA shipwreck is a boat-access wreck on Lefteris Reef in the Skiathos-Pelion channel. The wreck sits broken across reef structure, with a shallower stern and a deeper bow that turn the site into a wreck-and-reef route rather than a single flat profile. Certified divers get the best day when the sea is settled, buoyancy is steady, and the boat plan is timed around the channel weather. Gorgonian growth and mixed Mediterranean fish life add texture around the wreck.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
7m - 27m
Depth Note
Published references place the common wreck profile from about 7 to 27 m; one independent wreck-history page places a broader southern reef section deeper, so the range is kept conservative.
Best Season
Late spring to early autumn
Typical Conditions
Clear Aegean water, reef-and-wreck structure, and a dive that is easiest on settled boat days; the channel can feel more active when weather moves through.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tidy around the broken wreck sections, watch for lines or nets on the reef, and treat the channel as weather-sensitive.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; use a local skipper or dive center familiar with Lefteris Reef and nearby harbor timing.
Legal Notes
No special permit requirement was identified for normal recreational diving, but local boat and harbor rules still apply.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A solid certified scuba dive with a boat entry, changing depth across the wreck, and a profile that suits divers comfortable with some depth variation.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target because the wreck profile and boat access are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main use case; the interesting structure sits below the surface and the site runs best as a boat dive.
