Why dive here
Agios Pavlos Cliff and Caves is a cave dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 16-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Agios Pavlos Cliff and Caves offers a series of swim-throughs and small caverns carved into the coastline. The rock formations themselves are the main draw here, with light shafts piercing the darker sections on sunny days. It’s a site for divers who enjoy exploring geological features rather than seeking out abundant marine life. We'd suggest it for those looking for a relaxing, shallow dive with some interesting architecture.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
