Why dive here
Samos Heart Rock is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 18-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Samos Heart Rock is a straightforward dive off the coast, primarily a rocky reef. We’ve found decent visibility here, generally around 15-20 meters, making it a good spot for newer divers or anyone looking for a relaxed exploration. Expect to see some small Mediterranean wrasse, bream, and the occasional octopus tucked into crevices. It’s a solid, undemanding dive for getting wet and enjoying the calmer side of the Dodecanese.
