Short-boat deep wall dive off Nikouria.
Short-boat deep wall dive off Nikouria.
Nikouria Northern Wall is a short-boat deep wall dive off Amorgos, with a cavern and a long drop that keeps it firmly in advanced territory. The wall face and pockets are the main draw, with big-blue water and passing pelagics giving the dive its scale. Plan it as a winter-friendly boat objective for experienced divers who are comfortable with depth and a more exposed island tip.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Deep wall with a cavern and wall pockets; good for experienced divers who want a dramatic drop and blue-water profile.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the wall and cavern are better treated as scuba terrain.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; surface use only makes sense in very calm conditions.
