The Wall at Nissaki is a wall dive on Corfu's north-east coast, on the same stretch of dive ground — between Barbati and Agni — as Captain John's wreck and the City of Peraeus ferry. Wannadive gives it an average depth of 18 m and a maximum of 30 m; the local dive centre reaches it by boat from Nissaki port.
Where it is and how deep
39.7259° N, 19.8997° EApproximate position — the dashed circle shows where the site lies; your operator's briefing has the mooring.
The dive
What is published is the shape and the numbers: a wall off Nissaki averaging 18 m with a floor at 30 m, which makes it a mid-depth face dive rather than a deep one — the whole face sits inside recreational range. Treat the 18 m average as the working depth of the dive and the 30 m mark as the bottom of the face, not a target.
The dive runs as a boat trip: divers meet and prepare at Nissaki port before heading out to the wall, which sits on the same stretch of coast as Captain John's wreck and the City of Peraeus ferry, between Barbati and Agni. Beyond that, entry and route detail on the face itself is not published, so plan it conservatively — use the wall as the navigation line, descend to your planned depth, run it in one direction and come back shallower. Depth and boat traffic are the flagged hazards at neighbouring Nissaki-coast sites, so end the dive close to the rock or under a surface marker.
