Paola Cavern: advanced Rhodes cavern with a dramatic light display
Paola Cavern is an advanced Rhodes cavern dive in the Anthony Quinn Bay area, set on a steep drop-off. The main draw is the cavern opening and the way sunlight cuts through the deeper section. It suits confident scuba divers who can hold trim, follow a briefed route, and keep the overhead part conservative. Marine life is usually the supporting act: groupers, moray eels, squid, scorpionfish, nudibranchs, and schools of fish.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Treat the overhead section conservatively, with solid buoyancy, clear communication, and a strict turn plan.
Access Restrictions
Advanced scuba only; the site suits divers comfortable with cavern-style overhead sections and precise buoyancy.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Experienced divers can follow the cavern line on a controlled route off the steep drop-off, with the light effect as the main reward.
Freediving
Not a standard freedive target; the overhead section and deeper wall are better left to trained scuba teams.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the cavern and drop-off are set up for scuba, not casual surface viewing.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
