Why dive here
Kalithea is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 18-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Kalithea is a solid choice if you're diving in the Dodecanese. The site itself isn't a dramatic drop-off, more of a gentle slope with rocky outcrops and some scattered Posidonia meadows. We've often spotted schools of Red Sea Hardyhead Silversides shimmering near the surface and, if you look closely, you might catch a flash of a Red Swimming Crab scuttling amongst the rocks. It’s a comfortable dive, good for getting your buoyancy dialed in or for those days when you just want a relaxed potter around. Keep an eye out for the lionfish, they're definitely here.
