BLACK WATER Diving - Greece, Greece

Black Water is an intermediate dive site near Lefkada in the Ionian Sea, reaching 30 meters. Named for the dark volcanic rock or deep-water colour at this location, the site offers a moody underwater atmosphere different from the typical bright Ionian setting. The dark seabed creates dramatic contrast with the colourful sponges, gorgonians, and marine life that inhabit the reef. Groupers, moray eels, and scorpionfish blend against the dark substrate, while schools of bream and chromis stand out vividly. The unique visual character of the site makes it a favourite for underwater photographers seeking dramatic lighting and contrast effects in the clear Ionian waters.
