About Pothitos
Pothitos is a boat-access island dive off the Athens Riviera with multiple routes that suit a wide range of scuba experience. The site combines a classic wall profile with cracks, cavities, and swim-throughs, so the dive can be as easy or as challenging as the team chooses. Marine life is rich and the water is typically clear, making it a strong all-around Greek island dive rather than a one-note wreck stop.

Plan the dive around depth and experience; the deeper wall routes need appropriate training and gas management.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; guided trips are the normal way to reach the site.
Legal Notes
Use the site within the limits set by the boat team and local dive operation.

Freediving can work on the shallower routes, but the boat-only offshore setting makes scuba the main use case.
