AIR PLANE DIVE 18M
Messerschmitt Wreck
Just 800 meters
offshore lies one of Crete’s most famous wrecks: the remains of a German WWII
Messerschmitt 109 fighter jet. Although scattered into several pieces, the
wings and fuselage are still intact, and divers can see inside the cockpit and
inspect one of the machine guns, complete with ammunition belts.
The wreck has long
since it became a permanent feature of the seabed, and plays host to a
multitude of aquatic life, including large groupers and moray eels. There is
also a small reef to explore about 20m away.
Lying at a depth
of 24–30m in open waters, this dive is highly recommended to experienced divers
only, preferably with appropriate training in deep water and wreck dives.
