About This Dive Spot

Nikouria Cavern offers divers a unique underwater landscape characterized by its cavernous formations that lead to the open sea. The walls of the cavern are adorned with vibrant sponges in shades of purple, red, and yellow, along with various corals. Divers can observe a range of macro marine life, including nudibranchs, pipefish, and fan mussels. Additionally, large spiral worms and lobsters can be found nestled within the walls. As divers make their way back, they can explore the pockets in the cavern walls, where a significant meadow of Neptune grass indicates the clarity of the waters. This site is accessible from the shore, making it convenient for divers to enter the water directly.
