About this site
Calypso Reef is a reef and wreck dive off the south-east of Naxos, Greece, about a mile from Agios Prokopios beach, where boat trips to the site begin.
The reef mixes both dive types. Two or maybe three boats crashed on the shallow part of the reef, and the bottom is covered with parts of these wrecks. The maximum depth is about 20 m.
Marine life includes schools of fish, groupers, barracudas, octopuses, moray eels and nudibranchs.
