Dive-site story
Located off the northern coast of Crete near Panormo, this site features a seabed littered with lost anchors from various eras alongside rocky drop-offs and scattered boulders. Centuries of maritime traffic and sudden Aegean squalls caused vessels to cut their tackle, leaving behind a field of iron relics that marine life now uses for shelter.
Collection of historical and modern anchors resting across rocky and sandy seafloor
Network of small overhangs and crevices harboring macro life
Occasional encounters with pelagic visitors cruising along the deeper edge
