About Plimmyri

Plimiri is some 85km to the south of Rhodes Town at Cape Vigla. It is a very quiet, sandy bay backed by low dunes. No hotels here, the bay is used only by fishermen and a few tourists looking for a quiet spot to spend the day. There is a very good reason to dive Plimmyri - it is home to the wreck of the cargo ship Giannoula K. Built in the Netherlands and launched in 1953, the Giannoula K went through several owners and by different names before sinking in Plimmyri in 1981. Lying at a maximum depth of 22m and still virtually intact this is a fabulous wreck dive. The wreck is reached by rib. The mast just breaks the surface, making a convenient descent and ascent line to the 110m length of the wreck.

Dive Site Hazards

Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.
Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.
Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

Deceptive Entry Openings — Openings may become restrictive inside due to angle, collapse, or corrosion.

Surge-Induced Internal Silt Shift — Internal surge can move silt and debris without direct contact.

Partial Overhead Environment — Many wrecks limit direct ascent even without full penetration.

Fine Rust Particle Silt-Out — Disturbed rust particles can rapidly reduce visibility.
