Diving in Vgethi is usually the best alternative when the southern wind hits the popular diving spots in Attica. However, it’s not just a contingency plan, as it offers a beautiful dive that you’d want to repeat soon, regardless of weather conditions.

THE DIVE

Get into the water and perform your pre-dive checks. If you notice a strong current (common in the area), swim on the surface until you approach the shore and dive there. Alternatively, follow an underwater route, with the compass being quite helpful here. The seafloor gathers plenty of marine life, and visibility is usually good. Take your time to explore for macro-life, as it’s common to spot nudibranchs. The depth doesn’t exceed 20-22 meters, except for the back side of the reef, which can go beyond 30 meters and houses a small underwater cave. Adjust the dive according to your preferences and training.

When you complete the circle around the shore, take the return route. Make your safety stops and resurface.
