SS Captain Frangos: deep Dardanelles wreck for technical dives
SS Captain Frangos: deep Dardanelles wreck for technical dives
Current, depth, and buoyed planning make local operator support the normal way to dive it.
SS Captain Frangos is a deep Dardanelles wreck with a clear collision story and a long, coral-covered hull. The ship lies on its side, so the main attraction is the full profile and marine growth rather than easy shallow access. Expect a technical, current-sensitive boat dive with limited visibility and buoyed planning from a local wreck center. It is a serious site for experienced wreck divers, not a recreational warm-water stop.
