A close-up reef map of Amphoras will appear here when available.
Sloping reef strewn with the amphora cargo of a wrecked Ottoman-era vessel. The ship's inscribed anchor lies at about 24 m. The most interesting section is 12-25 m. Depth 10–30 m; day boat; drift current. Remains of a 17th-century Turkish vessel that was carrying mercury in amphorae; the hull itself is gone and only the cargo and anchor survive.
