Why dive here
Souda Pierced Rock is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Souda Pierced Rock gives you a solid Mediterranean rock dive. The main draw is a decent swim-through, cutting right through the rock itself. You’ll find the typical local suspects sheltering in the crevices – a moray eel here, a few scorpionfish there. It’s a straightforward dive, good for getting wet and exploring some interesting geology without needing advanced skills.
