Plongée à Santorini Caldera — Greece
Diving inside Santorini's volcanic caldera is geologically unique — the walls of the flooded crater plunge dramatically, with underwater hot springs and volcanic vents creating an otherworldly setting. The marine life is secondary to the scenery here, but the dramatic topography makes every dive feel like exploring another planet.
