This dive site features the wreck of Alexandria, a wooden fishing boat that sank in the 1980s. Located on a sandy bottom, the wreck's main beams are still visible, offering a distinct underwater landmark for navigation, though smaller wooden parts have deteriorated over time. The site tells the story of a bygone era of wooden fishing vessels.
Divers can expect to find a variety of marine life on and around the Alexandria wreck. The sandy bottom is home to flatfish such as flounders and elusive sand eels. On the remaining structures of the wreck, look out for snappers and groupers. This site is also known for occasional sightings of seahorses, adding a special charm to the dive.
The best time to visit Alexandria depends on local conditions, but typically warmer months offer more comfortable diving. This site is suitable for divers of all levels due to its shallow maximum depth. Freedivers will also find the average depth of 9 meters appealing for breath-hold explorations of the wreck and surrounding sandy areas, looking for its unique inhabitants.
