About This Dive Spot
Le Throstle is a 90-meter British freighter that sank in 1919 after colliding with a rock on the Helle plateau. The wreck is located at a depth of 17 to 22 meters, with its two boilers positioned vertically and exposed next to rocky formations. The deck rests on a white sandy bottom. Surrounding the site, divers can observe an array of marine life, including pearl anemones, daisies, and alcyon. A notable feature is the presence of a shoal of pout that often swims over the wreck's bridge.
