About Castle Rock
Castle Rock is a boat-access pinnacle dive off Amorgos with a fish-rich passage, clear blue-water terrain, and antique pottery on the bottom. The site is known for dense fish activity and nearby fishing gear that demands careful buoyancy, so a skipper-led briefing and steady route choice matter more than a simple shoreline entry. It suits divers who want a short, memorable open-water outing with strong Aegean character rather than a flat reef swim.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive around the pinnacle. The route rewards stable buoyancy and relaxed pacing through the fish passage.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the boat setup and net awareness make it a better scuba choice.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here. The main interest sits below the surface around the pinnacle and passage.
