Advanced outcrop dive off Tripiti.
Local Paros operators are the normal way to reach Ayers Reef.
Ayers Reef is a compact, advanced Paros outcrop off Tripiti that rises from a posidonia meadow and rewards careful boat divers with a tight, rock-led route. The dive is all about staying disciplined on the profile, using the rock as the anchor for navigation, and letting the marine life gather around the edges. It is a site for divers who want structure, depth awareness, and a serious but efficient island dive.
