Βυθόμετρο - Depth Gauge is a sharp underwater pinnacle in Halkidiki that rises well off the seafloor and pulls in constant water movement. It is a focused current dive for people who like cleaner trim, disciplined depth control, and the chance to watch larger fish work the flow. The site is more about timing and current management than sightseeing, so it rewards divers who are comfortable staying active and reading the water.

Scuba Diving
A current-driven pinnacle dive with strong pelagic action and enough depth to suit divers who stay disciplined in moving water.
Freediving
Only confident freedivers with current experience should consider it; the moving-water profile makes it a niche freedive target.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the action sits on the pinnacle and in current, well below the surface.
