Best for advanced divers, 35-30m, boat entry, strong current.
Gorgonian Gardens is a deep reef and wall site in Greece, characterised by large gorgonian sea fans colonising the structure between 30 and 35 metres. The site requires boat access and is suited for advanced divers due to strong, variable currents and depths averaging 40 metres. Visibility typically ranges from 20 to 30 metres, providing clear sightlines along the wall face. Divers must monitor computers closely due to limited bottom time at these depths and maintain active buoyancy management. The wall provides a reference point and wind break against the current. Water temperatures fluctuate throughout the year, ranging from 15C in late winter to 23C in September.
