Table Top

Posted on | by ioulia | Leave a Comment on Table Top

This dive site is part of the Kavo Gkreko network of dive sites. Table Top is characterized by natural stone formations surrounded by Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows. In the small caverns, an array of colours can be seen from the sponges, as well as anemones, coralligenous algae and nudibranchs. The dive site ranges from 20 to 25 m depth. The rocks are brimming with marine life, such as fire worms, octopi, moray eels, and groupers. At the edge of the rocks, you find yourself in Posidonia oceanica meadows with lots of fish and gastropods that prefer to hide there.

Interesting facts: It is advised to perform this dive via boat rather than from the shore to avoid disorientation and missing the location.
