Overview
Byron I is a broken cargo-ship wreck off Kali Limenes, southern Crete. Mare Sud describes the wreck at about 11 m and gives a 12 m site maximum. The Greece/Cyprus/EU-cofinanced Dive in Our Islands project instead lists a dive profile from 1 to 15 m. These are different published site profiles; a single verified whole-wreck maximum is not established. The map point is the published Dive in Our Islands site position, not a surveyed hull or drop point.
