Dasia Gallery
A tunnel through the cape with daylight pouring in through its roof
Dasia Gallery is a cliff and cavern dive at Dasia Island, off Skopelos. A wall leads to a gallery that tunnels through the cape, and divers go for the light falling through an opening in its roof halfway along.
Also known as Galley-Dasia.
Where it is and how deep
39.1170° N, 23.6371° EApproximate position — the dashed circle shows where the site lies; your operator's briefing has the mooring.
The dive
Divers descend along the wall to 18, 25 or 30 m, the depth set by each diver's level, and follow the cliff face of the cape before turning into the mouth of the Gallery.
The Gallery is a tunnel that leads through to the other side of the cape, where the dive started. Halfway along it an opening in the roof lets in daylight.
