Kori is a shallow bay reef around a surface-breaking rock off Chersonesos, with sand, rocks, and seagrass forming an easy route. It is a relaxed boat dive or long-swim site that works well for training and first-time divers. Marine life is steady rather than flashy: small reef fish are common, and groupers, moray eels, octopus, parrotfish, amberjacks, and turtles may turn up on better days.
