Dive-site story
Situated within the rocky islet cluster of Diaporia in the Saronic Gulf, this cavern dive features volcanic rock architecture marked by fissures, overhangs, and swim-throughs. Daylight penetrates the main entrance to illuminate sponge-encrusted limestone walls and sandy patches on the seabed. Divers explore the outer reef edge before navigating the spacious cavern interior, where sheltered pockets harbour cryptic Mediterranean invertebrates.
Light beams filtering through the cavern entrance and overhead fissures
Walls carpeted in yellow encrusting anemones and tube worms
Sheltered rock crevices hosting morays and spiny crustaceans
