Description
This program includes 6 boat dives in a duration of 3 days - the Elephant Cave Program, the British Shipwreck Program and the Wall Diving 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.

Day 3 - The Wall Diving Program
The underwater “wall” created from the submerged edge of cliffs, creates
a natural shelter for marine life. This dive is very interesting as it
provides an opportunity to see the natural fauna and flora of the
island. Divers can see schools of large and small fish such as groupers,
as well as other organisms that the instructors will point out during
the dive.
