History

Minesweeper

This Minesweeper was originally a trawler that was converted into a mine-clearing vessel by the British during World War I. Although it was initially constructed as a civilian ship and later adapted for military use, its exact cause and date of sinking remain unknown.

The wreck, whose sinking is believed to be associated with mines in the area, lies upright on the seabed at a depth of 58 meters. Serving as an ideal site for technical diving and offering an attractive exploration area for divers, the wreck allows for access to its engine room.

Diving Equipment Information

In addition to standard scuba equipment, nitrox and technical diving gear are required. A dry suit must be worn.
