Description
This program includes 4 boat dives in a duration of 2 days - the Elephant Cave Program and the British Shipwreck Program.
Day 1 - The Elephant Cave Program
The cavern’s entrance is between 7.5 and 12 meters deep with a width of about 9 meters. After swimming in for about 40 meters a series of exquisite red and white stalagmites and stalactites are revealed to greet divers as they emerge into the cave. Divers enter a world that has existed peacefully, for centuries transformed into a fabulous underwater paradise of colour and remarkable natural features. The cave’s natural “decoration” is absolutely magical.
Day 2 - The British Shipwreck Program
The name Minnewaska comes from the American Indian word meaning clear
water. The ship was built in Belfast in November 1908 and It was 183
meters long constructed as a passenger steamer. During the first world
war the ship was used by the British military to transport troops. On
the 29th November 1916 the ship was leaving Souda the troops onboard
when she struck a mine laid by a German submarine UC23.
