Trigger reef

About this dive site

Explore the water around Aegean Islands

A relaxing 45 minute swim takes you to the Trigger reef. The reef meets the sand at about 14m so there is no reason to dive deeper. Most of the summer you are guaranteed to find the beautiful nudibranch, flabelina affinis, bright purple coloured and the cratena peregrina white body with orange, purple or dark blue tentacles. They feed on the soft coral moss and is the perfect subject for macro photography. Trigger reef gets its name from the regular sightings of trigger fish (Balistes Carolinensis), a rare fish from red sea, so keep an eye out. You can also expect to see octopus, moray eel and the common reef fish of the Med.
