Vassilis Cavern is a boat-access cave dive located 500 metres off the coast of Paxos Island. The site features a cavern environment with depths ranging from 15 to 25 metres, averaging 20 metres.

As an overhead environment, this site requires careful monitoring of air supply, depth, and exit routes. Divers should carry a torch to illuminate the deeper reaches of the cavern. The site is suitable for intermediate divers who are comfortable with overhead environments. Facilities including air fills, showers, and changing rooms are available at the local dive shop.

The crystal clear visibility means natural light penetrates well into the shallower sections of the cavern, but bring a torch regardless as the deeper reaches of the cave benefit from your own light source. The on-site dive shop can sort air fills and local guidance, so check in with them before entry.
