Boat-access Skyros drop-off with strong marine life
A short boat ride from shore is the normal access pattern for Kavos.
Kavos is a boat-access drop-off off Skyros where a short crossing brings you to a scenic wall with marine life and night-dive appeal. The site feels like a flexible Aegean boat dive: enough structure to reward close buoyancy, but open enough that the scenery reads best when the sea is calm. It is a strong local choice for divers who want wildlife rather than a long swim.
