Pilot Points

i-ScubaDiving will focus on 2 pilot points, which are presented below:

    1. Shipwreck "UNKNOWN OTTOMAN"  in Kalamitsi, Halkidiki (Date of sinking: 2nd decade of the 20th century): The hitherto unidentified wreck in Kalamitsi, Halkidiki, is believed to have sunk on the rocky coast of Halkidiki, with local information suggesting that the wreck possibly belonged to the Ottoman fleet. The ship appears to be in good condition, as the 45-meter-long hull is preserved, along with the chimneys and the boiler, on a mostly sandy surface and rocky in places. The visibility in the area of the wreck is good, while it is located at a depth of 5-18m.

 

  1. Shipwreck "TRICHONIS" in Agios Mamma Halkidiki (Date of sinking: 1978): The water carrier (H/F) Trichonis was built in Genoa, Italy in 1925 under the name "Motol". During World War II she was sunk in the port of Sousse, Tunisia by German forces. After the liberation of Sousse, Motol was raised, modernized and returned to the Tunisian seas as a fuel carrier. In 1955 Motol was acquired and served as a Navy water carrier transporting water to the islands until 1976. Then it was used as a floating target for the Air Force until it sank in 1978, where it remains on the Greek seabed at a depth of 42m.
