Ladiko Wall Dive

36° 19.2′ N · 28° 12.4′ E · approximate

An ancient wreck site scattered with amphora and pottery fragments, ending in a dramatic wall that drops to 32 m over sand through a sharp thermocline. It is the most interesting dive close to Rhodes town.

Practical

Position approx: in Ladiko bay, taken from the Sailing Issues anchorage. Waterhoppers dives it every Thursday, meeting at the Ladiko car park at 9:30 am. Because of the depth, divers must first complete a shallower site. Life: grouper, Mediterranean barracuda, bream, octopus, nudibranchs, stingrays, moray eels, slipper lobster. Ancient artefacts must not be disturbed or removed: it is illegal in Greece.

Best for

Experienced divers; amphora field and wall
