Dive-site story
Positioned in the open passage off Naxos, this rocky reef system features submerged pinnacles, boulders, and steep drop-offs. Divers explore deep crevices and overhangs where ancient pottery remnants mingle with Mediterranean marine life. Open-water visibility is typically excellent, though conditions rely on seasonal wind and surface chop.
