Boat wall dive on Arsida Walll with very good visibility
Boat wall dive on Arsida Walll with very good visibility
Arsida Walll is a boat dive on the south side of Arsida island, with a wall that starts shallow and drops into deeper water. The site is known for very good visibility, rocky topography, and marine life tucked into the cavities, so it feels more like a classic Athens Riviera wall dive than a casual swim-in. It suits certified divers who are comfortable with depth and possible current, especially when the boat timing and conditions are lined up.
Site Conditions
Access Restrictions
Guided boat diving is the sensible way to run the site; current and depth make it less casual.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Wall dive with depth range from about 7 m to beyond 55 m.
Freediving
The shallow top of the wall is interesting, but the full wall is primarily a scuba profile.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling only really makes sense at the very shallow fringe; the interesting part is the wall itself.
