Patris is a deep wreck with strong fish life.
Patris is a boat-access paddle-steamer wreck on Kea's Koundouros reef, broken into two main sections and best handled as an advanced dive. Divers use the reef as a reference for the descent, then work the bow, stern, and paddle-wheel remains without a line in calm conditions. It is known for strong fish life around the wreck and clear water when the sea stays settled.
