Local operator required

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 around amphorae, rocky slope, and seagrass. It is best handled as an easy but condition-sensitive wreck site with a local operator.

About Host

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.

Local Intel For Host

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.
