Why dive here
Achata Cave is a cave dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 18-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Achata Cave offers a straightforward cavern dive on the Dodecanese coast. We found the entry simple, leading into a well-lit chamber with several smaller passages branching off. It’s a good choice for divers wanting an easy introduction to overhead environments without strong currents or deep penetration. Look for resident shrimp and small nudibranchs on the walls.
