The SS Kalliopis is located at a depth of 25 meters. The wreck lies approximately in 30 feet of the rocks on the north coast of Donegal out from Downings. This is good dive site due to the large amount of wreckage to sift through including a lot of crockery. The boilers and funnels can also still be seen. This is a good sea dive for the novice with some experience.

The SS Kalliopis vessel was of Greek origin, on her way to London with a cargo of grain. After being torpedoed by a U-Boat, it caught fire, drifted on to the rocks and sank.
