Pakleni chimney dive with a wall finish
The chimney start, wall drift, and boat pickup make guided local logistics the practical way to dive it.
Poseidon Pillar is a boat-dropped chimney dive in the Pakleni Islands that starts deep and opens onto a wall, rewarding good buoyancy with sunlight through cracks, scorpionfish, moray eels, and the occasional lobster. It is best for experienced divers who are comfortable with overhead sections and a flowing wall finish.
