Marathia is an advanced dive site off Zakynthos in the Ionian Sea, reaching 30 meters along dramatic underwater cliffs on the island's western shore. The sheer walls drop into deep blue water, adorned with gorgonians, sponges, and encrusting corals. Caves and overhangs at various depths shelter Mediterranean monk seal habitat, though sightings are extremely rare. Groupers, barracuda, and dentex patrol the wall, while the clear Ionian waters provide visibility often exceeding 30 meters, creating an exhilarating wall diving experience.
