The Volcanic Fault Diving - Greece, Greece

The Volcanic Fault is an advanced dive near Nisyros in the Dodecanese reaching 40 meters, exploring a dramatic geological fault line created by the island's volcanic activity. The fault creates a deep fissure in the seabed where the rock walls are stained with volcanic minerals in unusual colours — yellows, oranges, and blacks not found on typical Mediterranean reefs. Thermal vents may release warm water and gas bubbles along the fault line. Marine life adapted to the volcanic conditions includes unique encrusting organisms. The depth and geological complexity require advanced certification. A geologically extraordinary dive that showcases the raw volcanic power shaping Nisyros's underwater landscape.
