About this site
Black Rock lies off Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades group within the South Aegean region of Greece, typically reached by boat from the island's harbor towns. The site sits over a rocky bottom and reaches a maximum depth of around 50 metres, rated as a technical dive. Barracuda are a regular sighting here, and divers have also reported grouper, octopus, scorpionfish, dusky spinefoot, painted comber, rivulated rabbitfish, worm sea cucumbers, Mediterranean feather stars, and a range of nudibranchs including the leopard sea slug and Mediterranean violet aeolid among the rocky terrain.
