Dive-site story
Located off the eastern coastline of Thassos near Skala Potamias, this islet dive offers a sheltered seascape characterized by stepped limestone ledges, scattered boulders, and dense Posidonia oceanica meadows. Divers follow the rocky reef as it descends toward open sand, exploring crevices that harbor classic Aegean macro species and schooling coastal fish. The southern side of the islet typically provides protection from prevailing northern winds, making for calm conditions.
Extensive rocky boulder fields and overhangs housing hiding cephalopods and moray eels
