St. George
★★★★☆
(903)
At the end of the bay of Hersonissos there is a wall type reef we call St. George, named after the church near by. The dive site is about 300 meters long and we split it in 2 parts. Shallow and Deeper. Shallow part starts from 6 meters depth and goes down to 12-13 meters. Deeper part is from 12 to 19 meters.
Typical Mediterranean sea life can be also seen here. The Lionfish have taken over most this area now and we find many of them along the wall.
