Flying Fish

The Flying Fish dive site is one of the two dive sites closest to the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo).
On the way to the site, look around from the boat and you will see flying fish skimming above the water. Underwater, after the first few metres, these creatures keep you company; they are the residents of the dive site and the region. You can meet them even in the first metres of the reef, which starts at around 5 metres. The reef descends to 80 metres.
When you jump from the boat you begin to pass over algae-covered rocks. Beyond 35 metres, around the rocks that turn colourful, the journey into the deep begins, accompanied by large groupers lying on the sand and sharks watching you from afar.
In fact, this wall is limited to 35-40 metres, and the most exciting part of the dive is the aircraft wreck, which lies far below the limits of recreational diving. Wrecks have drawn curious people to the depths throughout history. Besides the ancient wrecks along our coasts, the more recent sheet-metal wrecks are also very exciting for divers. The plane is believed to have taken off from one of the Greek islands during the Second World War. Its three propellers, in quite good condition, suggest that it did not crash but made a forced landing. The first divers to reach the plane say that the tail carries information showing it was built in Milan, together with some numbers. A villager from Kaş has mentioned that they buried the dead pilot.
