About Pinakida
Pinakida is a classic Kelifos wall dive with a shallow start that drops into a long rocky face. Clear water, corals, sea anemones, sponges, and classic Mediterranean fish make it a scenic site for measured boat dives and close scanning along the wall. The deeper sections reward steady buoyancy and a patient pace rather than a rushed swim.
