Psarapoula - Dodecanese

Psarapoula offers a solid dive in the Dodecanese, a good spot if you’re looking for a relaxed Mediterranean experience without too much drama. We’ve found the site is usually pretty calm, making it a nice choice for divers who prefer a more leisurely pace. Keep an eye out for the African Blue Swimming Crabs scuttling across the seabed, and we’ve often spotted Goldband Goatfish rooting around in the sand. You might even catch a glimpse of a Lionfish or a Studded Pufferfish, both recent arrivals to these waters.
