Guided boat logistics from Kos are the standard way to dive the site.
Strongyli island is a remote volcanic dive off Kos with steep walls, rocky outcrops, and a deeper open-water profile. The site is usually reached by boat and suits scuba divers who are comfortable with stronger exposure and more serious buoyancy control. It is a good pick for clear-water, Mediterranean life, and a more adventurous day than a casual bay dive.

Scuba Diving
Half-day guided boat dives are the standard offer, usually run in small groups with full gear included. The site is better suited to divers comfortable with deeper profiles than to casual shallow-water training dives.
