At Sivota (Ancient Greek: Sybota) took place, according to Thucydides, the largest naval battle between Greek city states until that time. The battle of Sivota was happen in 433 BCE between Corcyra (modern Corfu) and Corinth and it was one of the immediate catalysts for the Peloponnesian War.

Sivota area was visited by the French naturalist Jacques Cousteau and his exploratory vessel Calypso, trying to dedicate the historical Sivota Battle. So you never know what you can discover with Deep Blue Divers at diving!!!

The deepest part of the Sivota area reaches the 120m – 140m between of Sivota islands, Paxos island and Corfu Island. At the coastline and around the Sivota islands are the shallowest diving spots. Through all the summer we don’t have winds, off course sometimes coming from the northwest but we have many diving spots around the islands which is protected from the wind.
