Overview

A promising shore dive with very easy entry, though exiting can be harder. The site is known for rich marine life due to the nearby fish farm, including potential sightings of tuna, grouper, and dolphins. It quickly reaches depths of 40 meters, making it suitable for both deep and recreational diving.

Access: Legrena Fish Farm is a shore dive located off the Athens-Sounio coastal avenue (EO91) along the coastline between Charakas and Legrena. Divers park in roadside clearings along the coastal highway and enter directly from the rocky shoreline. Entry into the water is straightforward, with a short surface swim leading out to the steep underwater slope that quickly descends to 40 meters.

Marine life: Documented marine species observed at Legrena - Fish Farm include dusky groupers (Epinephelus marginatus), greater amberjacks (Seriola dumerili), Atlantic bluefin tuna, bottlenose dolphins.

Safety: Be careful on the way out, especially if the weather conditions are not great. With maximum depths reaching 41.0 meters, this site requires Advanced Open Water or Technical certification. Divers must exercise disciplined gas planning, monitor depth progression closely along the drop-off, and strictly adhere to non-decompression limits.
