Sightings are seasonal probabilities, not promises - even in peak season nature does its own thing.

Certification & difficulty

Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.

Snorkelling

Snorkel-friendly - Yes at the shallow House Reef and similar 0-6m sites.

Safety notes

Depth at the deeper wrecks/wall (to ~35m), boat traffic near the harbor, WWII-era debris at the Pleora site (described as inert relics rather than live ordnance, but caution still warranted).

Permits & fees

No specific per-site entrance fee found beyond dive-center trip pricing; Greece's antiquities law (Law 3028/2002) restricts touching/removing ancient artifacts, relevant at the Pseira amphorae site - since a 2020 government reform, Greece has opened many underwater archaeological sites to supervised recreational diving, but independent/unlicensed collecting from wreck or antiquities sites remains prohibited.

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
