Cove
Swim-throughs and drop-offs between underwater valleys and hills
Cove is a seascape dive off southern Lefkada with canyons, swim-throughs, drop-offs and broad underwater valleys and hills. The usual dive reaches 20 m while the bottom passes 40 m at some points, and visibility usually exceeds 20 m, so the terrain reads from a long way off.
