Scuba diving
The magic of the rich seabed of Kythira is highlighted through this activity.
Cannons of old pirate hulls, huge winches of modern shipwrecks, parts of World War II planes and of course sea turtles, seals, snails, octopuses, lobsters and cuttlefish, accompany the lover of the underwater sea urchin. Beautiful corals and rock formations are revealed, while a wonderful underwater world embraces and calms the visitor, thanks to the loss of gravity.
