Dive-site story
Located off the western coast of Rhodes near the islet of Stroggyli, this site centers around a regulated marine protected zone and aquaculture ecosystem. Divers encounter steep rocky drop-offs and submerged netting structures that attract large predatory fish and marine mammals drawn by schooling fish populations. The open-water exposure offers exceptional visibility typical of the south Aegean Sea.
Encounters with wild bottlenose dolphins that patrol the perimeter of the protected area
Schools of large amberjacks, sea bream, and tuna hunting in open water
Rocky ledges hiding octopus, moray eels, and groupers
