Artemis Pita (Artemis Pitta) Wreck

The Artemis Pita lies in the inner north-east corner of Milos's large near-enclosed gulf, just off Adamas port, with the Milos landmass wrapping around it from the north through east to the south-east — so the dominant summer Meltemi (N-NW) blows offshore over land and leaves the site calm, and there is no open-ocean swell anywhere in the gulf. The only exposed window is down the gulf's own axis toward its south-west mouth: a sustained SW-to-S wind builds a short internal wind-chop over the fetch of the bay, and this is the direction that will make the surface uncomfortable and can force dives to be postponed. All other sectors are fully shadowed by land, making this one of the more sheltered deep sites in the Cyclades despite its exposed, harbour-mouth position.
