Trooper Reef shore dive with lionfish and micro-life.
Trooper Reef shore dive with lionfish and micro-life.
Beach-entry reef in the Anthony Quinn and Ladiko area with a flat start, a drop-off, and wall sections that make the route feel varied without being technical. Trooper works well for Open Water divers who want a straightforward Rhodes outing with clear Mediterranean water, good visibility, and a finish that concentrates lionfish and other small marine life.
Safety Notes
Open Water certification is the minimum, and relaxed buoyancy matters around the wall section and the lionfish-rich finish.
Access Restrictions
Beach entry only; the site is typically dived from shore in the Anthony Quinn/Ladiko area.
Legal Notes
Follow local bay and anchoring rules.
