About Chapel And Mermaid
Chapel And Mermaid is a guided Black Sea dive in Primorsko's Crocodiles area, built around a rocky route that links a submerged chapel with a mermaid sculpture. It is a better fit for settled-weather days than for rough-water improvisation, and the real appeal is the easy rhythm of the site, the stone relief, and the mixed fish life around the wall. A local operator keeps the pace controlled and the dive simple to follow.
