Diving spots

“Lagoon“ Sozopol

The lagoon is located some 50 meters from our diving center in Sozopol, at 31 Odesa Str. and is one of the best places for beginners and also for training of Open Water Divers. Since we have scuba dived here  for several years – the fish in the lagoon know us and know we will feed them; they have become part of the underwater show  and come to us to get their daily portion of sea snails. The depth gradually drops and reaches  7 meters.

Scuba diving at “Pioneer“ wreck Sozopol

When the weather conditions are suitable for a boat dive, we organize scuba diving to the 30-meter fishing ship Pioneer, which was intentionally submerged.

After so many years spent at the bottom of the sea, the wreck is overgrown with mussels and is home to many wrasses, gobies and blennies; one can also observe schools of migratory fish.
