Local operator required
Cave certification and site-specific procedures make a local operator the practical way to dive the chimney.
A short approach from the dive center leads into an overhead chimney, so the route is easy to reach but strict to dive.
About Chimney
Chimney is a Corfu cave dive for certified divers who want a clear vertical route and a controlled overhead passage. The site is straightforward to reach from the local dive center, but the narrow chimney and sharp depth change make it an expert-level dive that rewards discipline more than speed. Shrimp, rock formations, soft corals, and sponges give the interior plenty of life without softening the cave-dive requirements.
