Advice for diving Snapper's Alley in Greece
At the edge of Kakava reefs, before water becomes too deep, there is an area where Posidonia sea grass, rocks and sandy patches change places. This is where colorful wrasses, brown meagres and all kind of breams find shelter, whilst sea turtles and eagle rays are common visitors, but without a doubt, the stars are the red snappers that are foraging around this alley, preying on the schools of damselfish and parrotfish. Probably the best site to spot a snapper, as they never fail divers, especially from May to July, in early morning dives.
