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.

Scuba Diving
Well-suited to try dives and training, with shallow depths and optional compass navigation to a deeper reef area.
Freediving
The shallow band can work for casual breath-hold practice, but the site is mainly a training and try-dive shore site.
Snorkeling
Shallow entry and the sand-to-seagrass transition make it workable for snorkeling, though the site is mainly a training dive.
