Boat canyon dive with jagged rock terrain and strong-wind tolerance.
Boat access and the exposed route are best handled with a local Paros operator.
Canyons is a boat dive off Dryonisi that threads through a meandering corridor of jagged rock formations and crevasses. The terrain changes constantly, so the dive feels more like a moving landscape than a fixed reef. It can still be dived in stronger wind, but it suits advanced divers who are comfortable with solid gas management and close attention to the rock shapes. Expect barracuda schools early in the season, plus turtles, octopus, moray eels, and other life around the formations.
