The Thermopylae Sierra

This is a favorite wreck dive for many Colombo divers. The Thermopylae Sierra is a 155 meter/509 feet long Cypriot shipwreck which sank during a monsoon storm in 2012 after being anchored for 3 years during a legal battle. An array of marine species flock to this wreck which sits, at it’s deepest, at around 23 meters/75 feet. The main deck of the ship is between 10 meters/33 feet and 12 meters/39 feet, which makes this wreck accessible for all levels – in fact, parts of it’s superstructure even breach the surface. Commonly spotted species here include barracuda, groupers, octopus, angelfish, butterflyfish, moray eels and lionfish.
