Manina 3 Wreck (Kinaros)

The wreck lies against Kinaros on the island's NW-facing flank (orientation ~330 degrees), where the swell window opens across the N-through-W arc, with the N, NNW and NW sectors fully exposed and WNW-W close behind. The bulk of Kinaros shields the site from the S, SE and SW quadrant, so southerly and Scirocco seas are largely blocked. Because the open arc takes in the N-NW direction, the site catches the summer Meltemi when it blows hard, and the SW-WSW gap toward the bay mouth lets a partial sea through; trips are weather-dependent and run only in settled conditions.
