Thor Star was a cargo ship build in 1965, with an overall length of 241 ft/3.5 m and was abandoned in Pserimos in 1997. After a few years it sunk, probably because of strong weather conditions – the reasons the ship sunk still remain unknown- and is now one of the favorite diving destinations in the area.
Located at a maximum depth of 98.4 ft/30 m, the wreck is in good condition and suitable for both novices and experienced divers. The bow of the ship is positioned in shallow waters, about 16 ft/5 m deep, while the second section goes down to 49 ft/15 m deep. For the most daring and qualified divers, the third section offers more exciting exploration options, as you can swim around the propeller and penetrate the ship’s bridge.
