Beginner-friendly boat dive with amphorae, seagrass, and octopus.
Beginner-friendly boat dive with amphorae, seagrass, and octopus.
The site is normally run as a boat dive, so local dive-center support is the standard way to reach the amphora field.
Host is a boat-access archaeological dive built around amphorae, a gently sloping rocky bottom, and patches of seagrass. The shallow mooring makes the site approachable once you are on the water, but the approach itself still needs a calm day and careful boat handling. The best part of the dive is the amphora field and the life that gathers around it. Octopus, morays, hermit crabs, nudibranchs, and shoals of small fish all fit the scene, and the deeper amphora pieces keep the route interesting for divers who want to stay focused on buoyancy and detail.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth

Depth Note
The boat moors over about 6 m, the main amphora concentrations start around 9 to 18 m, and the deepest standing amphora sits at 35 m.
Typical Conditions
Boat dive on a gently sloping rocky bottom interlaced with seagrass, with amphorae at multiple depths and shoals of small fish when the water moves.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch for waves and weak currents on the approach, keep buoyancy close around the amphorae and stones, and protect the archaeological remains.
Access Restrictions
This site is a boat dive rather than a casual shore entry. Use it only when sea state and current are comfortable.
Legal Notes
Respect the archaeological remains and follow local marine-heritage guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The route follows the amphora concentrations down the slope, with the most rewarding time spent holding position around the preserved pieces and scanning the grass for life.
Freediving
This is not a freedive site; the amphora field and boat-moored route are better left to scuba divers.
Snorkeling
This is not a snorkel site; the interesting features sit at scuba depths on a boat-run route.
Chill / Non-diver
Not a chill dive; it is better suited to a proper boat outing with a planned route and solid buoyancy control.
