About this dive site

This dive site, Faros in Greece, offers a unique blend of historical significance and diverse marine life. It's characterized by strong currents, making it ideal for drift dives, though experienced divers can also conduct normal dives. Navigation involves following the current and maintaining awareness of depth. The historical aspect of the site may include ancient ruins or shipwrecks (further details would require additional information).

The underwater landscape harbors a variety of marine species. Large moray eels and nudibranchs are common sightings, and divers may also encounter a variety of fish species typical of the Aegean Sea. The specific types of fish and coral present would require further information about the exact location.

The best time to visit is likely during the summer months (June-September) when water temperatures are warmest and visibility is typically best. However, strong currents can be present year-round. Divers should be experienced with drift diving and managing currents. Freediving is not recommended due to the strong currents and depth.
