Stegna islands - Dodecanese

The Stegna islands offer a relaxed dive experience in the Dodecanese. We’ve found decent rock formations here, home to smaller Mediterranean fish like bream and wrasse. It’s a good spot for a chilled-out dive, especially if you’re looking to log some bottom time without strong currents or big depths. Ideal for newer divers or those who prefer a less demanding afternoon in the water.
