Samos Free Fall is a marine dive site in the Dodecanese, Greece, defined by a dramatic drop-off. The topography transitions from a shallow reef at 10 metres to a wall reaching 40 metres, accompanied by cave and cavern sections. Visibility typically ranges between 20 and 30 metres. This site is suitable for advanced divers only, as it features strong currents and requires precise gas management. Access is by boat, and night diving is permitted for experienced divers. Divers should be aware of active boat traffic and use a surface marker buoy upon ascent. The habitat supports various reef fish and invertebrates typical of the region.

Time your dive to coincide with slack water when the current eases, as mistiming the tide here can make the drop-off genuinely hard work. Confirm conditions with your boat charter operator before committing, as strong current combined with boat traffic at this site means planning matters.
Accessible by boat. Enter the water from the boat and start your descent along the rock wall.
