Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Alonissos within the National Marine Park of the Northern Sporades, Votsi Wall features a rocky Mediterranean drop-off plunging along coastal headlands. The vertical relief is carved with fissures, overhangs, and small crevices sheltered from heavy swells. Divers follow the limestone face while scanning the open water for pelagic visitors and checking the shaded undercuts for sheltering reef dwellers.
