    Dropping down near the Paleochora Schisto Lighthouse, you’ll find a rocky seabed dotted with sponges and small gorgonians. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into crevices and schools of damselfish flitting through the shallows. It’s a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the travel rust or for those who prefer calmer conditions and shallower exploration. A decent spot for a second dive of the day.
