Dive-site story
Situated along the southern coast of Attica near Cape Sounio, this site features a mix of rocky shelves, scattered boulders, and dense Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows. Divers explore gradual drop-offs that harbor classic Mediterranean critters before flattening onto sandy patches where rays and flatfish often rest.
Extensive Posidonia meadows sheltering juvenile fish and camouflaged invertebrates
Network of rocky crevices harboring octopuses and moray eels
Calm coastal conditions suitable for training and relaxed navigation
