Why dive here
Agios Pavlos Gold Mine is a cave dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
At Agios Pavlos, you’re diving an old gold mine, which is a bit different. We’ve found some interesting rock formations and the occasional small octopus tucked into crevices. It’s not about big fish action here, more about the unique history and the unusual environment. Good for divers who appreciate something a little out of the ordinary, and probably best for those with a bit of experience.
