Amphoras - Local
The dive site name originates from the amphoras that can be found at the depth of 22 metres, which came from a Turkish ship that sunk in the 17th century. The amphoras contained mercury which spilled out onto the reef bed creating mirrors on the sea floor. Unfortunately, this is long gone now.
The dive starts with the wall descending to about 12 metres with then a gentle sloping bottom to the drop-off to 20 to 22 metres.
Along the way you will find pinnacles to explore on which you can find schools of glass fish, feather stars and star fish. As you continue along the dive at a depth of 22m, you find a long chain that leads to a modern anchor behind a coral block at a depth of 25m.
Not long after you will come across a large table coral that rises in front of two large coral towers.
Behind those towers there is an original anchor stick of the ship with some inscriptions and remains of the amphorae which the sunken ship was loaded with. The ship itself can no longer be seen today.
