About Nea Kameni (Wreck)
Nea Kameni (Wreck) is a shallow wreck inside Santorini’s caldera at Taxiarchis harbor, with the island’s black volcanic cliffs and a cliffside church giving it a strong landmark feel. The wreck is compact, photogenic, and easy to pair with the wider caldera circuit, with clear water and small fish concentrated around the structure. It is best handled as a guided harbor-side dive with simple conditions but active boat traffic nearby.
