2027 Milos CCR Project
In the summer of 2027, we return to Milos Island, 20 years after the pioneering Milos Dive Project of 2007. This expedition marks a new chapter in the exploration of Greece’s hidden wrecks. Returning with closed-circuit rebreathers, we will extend our bottom times, allowing deeper and more thorough exploration of the remote wrecks in Adamantas Bay. With refined skills and efficient logistics, we breathe new life into forgotten wartime stories.
Why Dive the Wrecks in Milos island?
Diving the wrecks in Milos Island means exploring a hidden world where history and mystery meet beneath the waves. Milos, once a hub of ancient trade, now hides forgotten World War II wrecks.

FAQs about dive trips to BRITANNIC
Deep ocean and wreck exploration diving is subject to weather conditions where marginal or harsh sea conditions affects the safety of a dive of this calibre. Given the unpredictability of weather, there is no’’ best season’’ that ensures ideal conditions to dive these wrecks.
Our extensive experience, records and local knowledge suggest that between May to mid-June and mid-September to mid-October we have a good chance of better dive conditions.
Given the adverse conditions around the remote location of the Britannic, a 10-day trip gives a better chance of completing the dives in case of marginal or non-diveable weather. It is also possible that in the worst case scenario there may be fewer days than that or even no diving at all. If the conditions are bad around the Britiannic, we have the possibility to dive the SS Burdigala, another premier Mediterranean wreck. We aim to dive as much as possible on both wrecks.
Operating from Scubalife and mainland, gives the team an advantage as we are able to dive other wrecks in the area, should diving the Britannic not be possible.
Diving boats include a 8.5m RHIB and a 7M RHIB with fixed bottle racks for all rebreathers and stages.
Yes, diving operations include a surface support crew/diver on each boat.
All diving operations are held at Scubalife center based in Palea Fokea. Diving boats can depart directly from the pier in front of the dive centre or from Lavrio, a 30 minutes drive from our base. The embarkation site will be determined in line with weather conditions and scheduling.
Scooters are a necessity for these dives to enhance safety, efficiency and comfort to experience most of these wrecks. Scubalife offers scooter rental packages per trip. If planning on bringing your own scooter, arrangements will have to be made. Please note special regulations exist when shipping batteries for scooters. There have been cases in the past where batteries have been rejected at the airport for inbound flights, so please check with your air carrier.

During the checkout dive we evaluate proper communication and awareness within the team, rehearsing emergency procedures including bailouts and scooter handling.
