About Amphoras

This Turkish galleon was built in the 16th century and was used as an ancient transport vessel which would carry mercury in amphoras. The dive itself consists of a sand slope which starts at around 12 meters, descending further. On this slope you will be able to find some pinnacles and an amazing coral garden. This area sometimes has some strong current present. A small reef wall also exists in close proximity to the coral slope.
