Scubalife 2-tank Anavyssos boat-dive itinerary that includes Arsida Canyon.
Clear-water boat canyon near Athens
Boat access is run through local dive operators from Anavyssos and Lavrio.
Arsida Canyon is a clear-water boat dive in the Saronic Gulf off the Athens Riviera. It drops quickly through a canyon and outer-wall profile, so depth management and gas planning matter more than surf or shoreline access. The site suits certified divers on guided boat trips and is known for classic Aegean marine life on the rock faces.
