Diving close to the cliffs of between Plakias and Calypso.

Stepped drop offs leading to an impressive wall with a large overhang draped with a old fishing net at around 35m following this wall you come to a steeply inclined channel which ascends to rocky vegetation covered reefs at a depth of 15m. Returning to the boat anchor in 5m to 8m of water is Calypso Gardens - large rocks and boulders teeming with small fish bottom dwelling life. The nets at overhang can only be seen by Advanced Open Water Divers or equivalent because of its depth - 35m.
