Why dive here
Mononaftis is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Mononaftis offers a straightforward shore dive, great for knocking the rust off your skills or an easy afternoon splash. We usually find small octopus tucked into the rocks and plenty of wrasse darting through the shallows. The site is a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive without much fuss.
