Boat-access canyon dive with clear water and steep reef walls.
Red Canyon is a boat-access canyon dive off Proti Island with steep walls, clear Ionian water, and a dramatic reef-wall profile that feels more like a scenic underwater gorge than a simple drop-off. It sits inside a larger Proti Island diving program, so the experience leans toward guided boat logistics, clear-water exploration, and a marine-life-rich canyon line rather than a casual shore entry.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The canyon opens into reef-wall terrain, making this a strong fit for scuba divers who want scenic structure.
Freediving
Freediving is better limited to the shallowest support areas; the main canyon line is built for scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works better around the broader Proti waters than in the deeper canyon itself.
