About this dive site

This dive site, located a short 10-minute drive from Pissouri Bay, offers easy access and shallow depths, making it ideal for introductory diving experiences. The seabed is pristine white sand. Divers can explore two distinct reef configurations; the first extends from the entry point in an SSE direction and reaches depths of approximately 10 meters with abundant marine life. Continuing SSE leads to a second reef at around 12 meters, featuring swim-throughs, sea grass beds, and boulder fields. A variety of species are frequently observed, including turtles, cuttlefish, octopus, and numerous fish. Visibility is excellent.
