Why dive here
Arch of the temple is a cave dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), sea turtles and sperm whales.
The Arch of the Temple on Zakynthos offers an interesting architectural dive, with a substantial natural archway providing a swim-through experience. Sunlight filters through the opening, illuminating the rock formations. It’s a site that suits divers looking for unique topography rather than abundant marine life, though you'll find the usual Mediterranean reef fish and invertebrates clinging to the walls. We’d suggest it for an easy second dive or for newer divers.
