Boat-access site on Kos's south coast with a steep wall, drift movement, and a tougher profile than the easier bay dives.
About KRIKELOS
KRIKELOS is a boat-access wall-and-drift dive on Kos's south coast, where a steep rock face, sponge growth, and steady movement give the site a more exposed feel than the easier bay dives around Kefalos. It suits confident divers who want a guided route, tight buoyancy, and a plan built around current rather than a static out-and-back profile.
Safety & Access
Site Conditions
Strong current
Safety Notes
Expect a moving profile along the wall; this is a better fit for divers comfortable with drift control, DSMB discipline, and staying close to the guide.
Access Restrictions
Boat access from a local Kos operator is the normal route, and the site is not a casual independent shore-entry dive.
