TripBase calls Vathy Bay the island's premier snorkelling and recreational dive site, with excellent clarity and almost no current. It describes Kaminakia Cove as a boat-only rocky reef with morays, nudibranchs and mild surge in the meltemi. It puts the nearest recompression chamber about 90 km away on Kos and quotes about US$50 per dive (undated; verify locally). Book ahead in season.
