This was undoubtedly the earliest dive I've ever done - we met up at 2:30am (!). The trip was well worth it though and shall definitely be repeated...
The Pericles is located in the Persian Gulf, 30 km east-northeast of Doha. It was a Greek made Japanese owned cargo ship built in 1967 and sunk in 1983. A fire broke out in the ship's engine room around 200 miles off Doha. The ship was then abandoned and later sank after various explosions.
Pericles was a general, orator, patron of the arts and a politician during the golden age of Greece from 449 to 431 B.C.
