Dive-site story
Situated just outside the historic bay beneath Lindos on the island of Rhodes, this site combines dramatic rocky relief with several limestone caverns and overhead swim-throughs. Sunlight penetrates into the cavern openings, illuminating sponges and bryozoan colonies clinging to the roof and walls. Outside the overhead environments, rocky terraces slope downward into the open Mediterranean, offering clear water and frequent encounters with classic Aegean reef species.
Series of natural limestone caverns with light beams streaming through surface fissures
Rocky drop-offs sheltering morays and octopus
Excellent underwater visibility typical of southern Rhodes
