Easy shore-training dive beside Pythagorio's dive center.
Pythagorio Beach Notos is a beginner-friendly shore dive just steps from the dive center in Pythagorio. A shallow training line runs over rock formations and a small wall before the bottom turns to sand and seagrass, with a small reef reached by compass at the deeper end. It is best on calm days and works well for try dives, lessons, and easy shore dives rather than big reef hunting.
