Dive-site story
Chrousso Bay sits at the southeastern tip of the Kassandra peninsula in Chalkidiki, offering calm, sheltered Mediterranean waters. The dive profile follows a gradual slope over fine sand, patches of seagrass, and scattered boulder formations that host coastal marine species. Thanks to minimal water movement and easy orientation, divers often use the bay for check-out dives, refresher courses, and relaxed exploration.
Extensive Posidonia seagrass beds harboring juvenile fish and camouflaged invertebrates
Rocky outcrops where common octopuses and moray eels tuck into crevices
Sheltered bay topography that keeps sea conditions calm throughout summer
Location
