Compact airplane wreck with clear water and rich marine life.
Pipper is a compact Piper airplane wreck on the northern edge of Makronissos Island, known for clear water and a wreck that remains in very good condition. The route stays close to the airframe, so the dive reads as a short, tidy wreck exploration rather than a long swim. It suits divers who want a controlled wreck profile more than a broad reef. Groupers, mullets, octopus, crabs, shrimp, scorpionfish, sponges, soft corals, and sea stars are common around the wreck.
