Boat-access canyon dive near Vasiliki, Lefkada.
A local Vasiliki dive center is the practical default for access and route planning.
Canyon is a boat-access Lefkada dive with rocky walls, a narrow swim-through section, and a route that rewards slow, deliberate navigation. The site is strongest when you want an underwater feature dive rather than a plain wall: hard-coral textures, anemones, morays, octopi, and a compact canyon profile keep the whole run interesting. It suits experienced divers who are comfortable planning around an overhead section.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The dive is centered on a canyon, a swim-through cave, and a return along the rock walls, with careful buoyancy more important than speed.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site. The depth and swim-through cave make it a scuba objective for experienced breath-hold divers only.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only a side option on calm days around the shallower edges; the main canyon line is built for scuba.
