Why dive here
Samos Katergo is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 18-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Katergo, off Samos, offers a typical Mediterranean dive with rocky slopes and small caves. We've often spotted octopuses tucked into crevices here, alongside schools of damselfish darting through the shallows. The site is generally calm, making it a good choice for newer divers looking to explore the Aegean's less dramatic underwater landscapes. Visibility is usually solid, around 15-20 meters on a good day.
