KRIKELOS
Kos wall-and-drift dive with sponge-covered rock
Local operator required
The site is normally handled as a guided boat dive because the drift profile and local conditions matter.
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.
