Messerschmitt Bf-109 Wreck (Agia Pelagia)

An open offshore site on the north coast of Crete, roughly 1-2 km out over sand with the island shielding the entire southern arc. The dominant exposure is the summer Meltemi blowing N-NW straight down the open Cretan Sea, plus general N-NE wind-wave fetch; with no headland to leeward, the wreck is fully exposed whenever the Meltemi is up. Southerly Scirocco swell is largely blocked by the Cretan landmass, so the calmest windows come with light or southerly winds.
