About this site
Nea Kameni is a small uninhabited island inside the flooded Santorini caldera in Greece, one of the most popular dive spots on Santorini. The caldera formed in the Minoan eruption of about 1600 BC.
The diving here is on volcanic terrain, and visibility is great. Maximum depth is about 30 m, with no current. There are hot springs at the site, so watch where you swim.
