Why dive here
Perissa Rock 1 is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Perissa Rock 1 offers a straightforward dive along a sloping rocky reef. You’ll find a landscape of boulders and smaller rocks, which make good homes for little crabs and blennies. It’s a decent spot for a relaxed shallow dive, perfect if you’re looking to get wet and enjoy the calm Mediterranean. We’d suggest it for newer divers or anyone wanting an easy entry point.
