Why dive here
Paximadia East is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Paximadia East gives you a typical Mediterranean dive, good for shaking off the rust. You'll find decent visibility and the usual suspects – small groupers, moray eels peeking from cracks, and maybe some octopus. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a relaxed dive without strong currents. We'd suggest it for newer divers or those wanting a calm afternoon in the water.
