About Valaxa North
Valaxa North is a boat-access drift dive near Skyros Port with a broad drop-off and a sheltered profile that stays out of west and north winds. The route works as a one-way blue-water drift, so it suits relaxed exploration of the slope and the deeper sea-fan zones while the boat handles pickup. Plan it with a clear pickup plan and enough gas for the one-way route.
