The coastal waters of Lefkada (Levkas) provide some splendid underwater scenery and in some places, a reasonable variety of marine wildlife. There are two PADI dive centres on the island. One is based in Nidri a short drive from Vass, and the other, Nautilus, is based in Vassiliki itself. There are a number of decent dive sites dotted around the coast, most just a short boat ride from Vassiliki. Several are suitable for Open Water Divers while others only for Advanced Open Water Divers and above.
