Why dive here
Waterhoppers is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 18-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Waterhoppers, off the coast of the Dodecanese, offers a comfortable entry for those getting their fins wet in the Med. It’s a sandy bottom dive, with scattered rocks providing shelter for goldband goatfish and the occasional Blue Crab scuttling past. We’ve spotted Red Sea Hardyhead Silversides schooling here, and sometimes a solo Redcoat peeking from a rocky crevice. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re keen on seeing some of the smaller, shyer residents without battling strong currents.
