Prasonisi: beginner-friendly reef loop off Paros
Easy boat reef with a clockwise loop, changing rock and Posidonia terrain, and enough relief to keep newer divers engaged.
About Prasonisi
Prasonisi is a beginner-friendly reef loop off Paros that can be circled clockwise from the southwest side. The route starts over sandy and rocky bottom with Posidonia, then shifts into darker rock, small overhangs, and a gentle wall, so the dive feels like a guided circuit rather than a straight out-and-back. It suits newer scuba divers who want an easy boat dive with enough structure, color, and fish life to stay interesting.
