About Thor Star Shipwreck
Thor Star Shipwreck is a named wreck dive site off Kos in the Aegean. It is one of the wreck stops included in the local boat‑diving circuit around the island. Plan it as a boat‑access dive rather than a shore swim, and expect it to be grouped with other nearby reef and cavern outings. The broader Kos season typically runs from May to October, which is when most local boat diving is active.
