About SKALA
SKALA is a boat-access reef-and-wall dive off Kefalos with easy conditions and very clear water. The site is compact enough to keep the route relaxed, but the wall line gives it enough structure to stay interesting on a short boat run. Calm days make the best version of the site, especially if you want an organized dive rather than a challenging one.
