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.
