Nirvana Beach - Kas & Kekova
Nirvana Beach is a shallow, sheltered spot in Kas, ideal for new divers getting comfortable in the water. The maximum depth of 12m allows for longer bottom times and easy buoyancy practice. You'll find the usual Mediterranean suspects here – small wrasse, the occasional octopus in the rocks, and plenty of damselfish zipping around. It’s a gentle introduction to diving.
