    Armenistis Bay offers a straightforward dive, good for shaking off the rust or for those newer to Mediterranean diving. You'll likely encounter smaller reef fish, maybe a curious octopus or a stingray gliding over the sandy patches. It's a relaxed spot, easy to navigate, and generally free from strong currents, making it a comfortable afternoon dive. We'd suggest it for an easygoing exploration rather than a hunt for big pelagics.
