About this site
Ladiko Bay is a rocky bay just a few hundred metres from Anthony Quinn Bay, near Faliraki on Rhodes, Greece. There is a small car park above the bay, reached by stairs. Divers go in from the shore, and boat trips also run here depending on tides and conditions.
The seabed is a gradual drop-off from 5 m down to 30 m, with overhangs and small tunnels. The rock is covered in algae and shelters burrowing creatures, and schools of pelagic fish pass. Water clarity is good, which makes it a good place for underwater photography. Drift dives along the drop-off are common and scenic.
The site is recommended for Open Water divers and above. If there is a current, a support boat and an experienced guide are essential. The best diving is between May and October. The meltemi wind blows from the north in summer, so check how exposed the bay is. Some rocky sections can rub on entry and exit, so a light rash guard helps. Carry a surface marker buoy for the ascent, as leisure boats can be around the area when it is busy.
