This island is known for its rich history, but is also often visited by divers wanting to explore its surrounding waters.

Whether old historical wrecks, gardens of spectacular Gorgonians, steep drop offs down into the blue or thrilling caves are what divers are interested in, they are all here. The dive centres with their experienced guides will take divers to the dive sites by boat, whether it be for completing a dive course or just to explore the many dive sites here.

Other dive sites which are man-made include historical wrecks such as Peltastis and the mine at Lorelai.
