History

History of the Minesweeper

Originally a trawler, the Minesweeper was converted into a mine-hunting vessel by the British during World War I. Although built as a civilian ship and later repurposed for military use, the exact cause and date of its sinking remain unknown. On the other hand, the wreck of this vessel, whose sinking is believed to be associated with mines in the area, lies upright at a depth of 58 meters. Presenting an attractive exploration area and serving as an ideal spot for technical dives, you can gain access to the wreck's engine room.

Dive Equipment Information

In addition to basic scuba gear, nitrox and technical diving equipment are required for this dive. A drysuit must be worn.
