A BRIT tourist has tragically died while diving at a famous Greek shipwreck.
The unknown man, 33, drowned while diving at the Epanomi Shipwreck in Thessaloniki due to 'rough seas', local media says.
On Sunday afternoon the diver got into some difficulty due to bad weather.
A coastguard official said: “He was swimming when the weather turned and it began to rain,
“A rescue boat and an ambulance were immediately sent but by the time they arrived he had been pulled out of the water unconscious.”
He was pulled from the waters by another brave swimmer.
The Port Authority of Michaniona is investigating and a postmortem will be carried out.
The tragedy brings the death toll of tourists in Greece to nine since the beginning of June after a
Brit sailor's body was discovered in Spetses last Friday.
