Shallow shore dive with archaeological stonework and modest visibility.
A Nessebar dive center is the practical default for archaeology briefings, access, and shallow-site timing.
Antique Breakwater 2 is a shallow shore dive in Nessebar's old town archaeology zone. The site is built from stone piles and old wall remains over a sandy bottom, so it works well as an easy guided dive rather than a deep-water trip. Expect Black Sea fish life, modest visibility, and careful buoyancy around the breakwater stones and any fishing gear.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch for fishing nets and gear after mid-afternoon, keep buoyancy tight around stonework, and avoid contacting the archaeological structure.
Access Restrictions
Plan the dive earlier in the day if possible; netting and fishing equipment can become the main annoyance after 16:00.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Coral
No coral reef here; the site is an ancient stone breakwater over sand.
Aquatic Life
Flathead grey mullet is logged here, and the shallow Black Sea setting fits other small fish around the stones.
Facilities
Nessebar dive centers run try dives, archaeology dives, snorkeling, and refresher courses.
