Why dive here
Archangelos Cave is a cave dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 18-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Archangelos Cave, tucked away in the Dodecanese, offers a straightforward cave dive that's pretty accessible for most divers comfortable with overhead environments. Inside, the light plays off the walls, revealing resident rhomboid sweepers and the occasional redcoat darting through. We've often spotted long-spined sea urchins clinging to the rock, and a few times, a curious marbled spinefoot has checked us out. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a relaxed exploration rather than a deep, challenging cavern system, and a good way to experience cave diving without feeling overwhelmed.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
