About Vgethi
Vgethi is a rarely-dived Attica shore site built around a small offshore islet with a steep wall on the east side and a deeper back section on the northeast that holds a small cave. The reef runs an anticlockwise circuit from the entry point, passing through the wall face and rounding to the cave-holding back side where the terrain drops into genuinely deep water. Reaching the entry requires a 4WD vehicle on a rough coastal track or a sustained surface swim to the skerry; once in the water, strong currents are common given the open-sea position. The site rewards the effort: occasional pelagic encounters sit alongside Mediterranean macro life, and the northeast cave adds an objective for experienced divers.

Vgethi Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
3m - 32m
Depth Note
Standard dive circuit runs to 20-22m; northeast back side exceeds 30m and holds a small cave. Entry point is shallow near the rocks.
Best Season
Vgethi is diveable year-round. Summer months bring more settled sea conditions and warmer water. The site is particularly useful as an alternative when southern winds affect more exposed Attica dive sites.
Typical Conditions
Open-sea islet with strong currents typical for the area. Visibility generally good in normal conditions. Anticlockwise circuit around the islet; east side has a steep wall; northeast section deepens beyond recreational limits with a small cave.
Safety & Access At Vgethi
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Restricted accessStrong current
Safety Notes
Strong currents are common at Vgethi given the open-sea islet position. If current is noticed, swim on the surface toward the shore before descending. The deep northeast section exceeds recreational limits for less-experienced divers; plan gas and ascent carefully. A compass is recommended for navigation around the islet. Road access to the entry point may be impassable without a 4WD vehicle.
Access Restrictions
Road access to the dive entry point may require a 4WD vehicle. Access may be further complicated by construction in the area. Confirm current track conditions with local operators or divers before visiting.

Scuba Diving
Follow an anticlockwise circuit from the shore entry point, working along the reef face and around to the east wall where the steep profile is most dramatic. The northeast back side drops beyond standard recreational depth and leads to a small cave; only divers qualified for the depth should venture there. Gas planning and controlled ascent are essential on the deeper section. A compass helps with navigation around the islet, especially in reduced visibility.
Freediving
Vgethi offers good freediving on the inshore reef slope and along the shallower sections of the circuit. The open-sea exposure and strong currents require experienced breath-hold divers; a surface buoy and buddy are essential. The deeper northeast section should only be approached by trained and experienced freedivers due to the depth and current.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is not well-suited to this site due to the difficult rocky entry, strong currents, and open-sea exposure. Conditions may be manageable during very calm weather, but the site is not recommended for casual snorkellers.
