About Agios Nikolaos
Agios Nikolaos is a sheltered shore dive just outside Linaria Marina on Skyros, built around an easy platform-and-ladder entry and a shallow sandy start. The site opens into a west-side drop-off and a standout pinnacle, so you can choose a simple training run or a deeper profile on the same route. Grouper, jackfish, moray eels, nudibranchs, octopus, and cuttlefish are all part of the draw.
