Dive site
Our dive center is located right by the sea, and our local dive site boasts crystal-clear water, excellent visibility, and a vibrant array of marine life, including various fish species, octopus, and more. Shore diving offers flexibility and convenience—without the need for a boat, we can explore the underwater world at almost any time of day.
The entry is slow and easy from the beach, leading to a sandy, flat plateau at 0-6m depth with pool-like conditions. Here, you'll practice breathing, swimming, and buoyancy while getting used to being underwater. The seafloor is a mix of sand, rock, and seagrass, and the marine life is surprisingly diverse for a shore dive.
Common aquatic life at our dive site in Kos: Schools of fish, octopus, scorpionfish, rockfish, various breams, and more. Occasionally, you might spot amberjacks or baby tunas in the blue. There are also species unique to our waters, including Lessepsian immigrants from the Red Sea.
