Sozopol

Sozopol is a coastal town on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. It serves as a gateway for divers visiting the region, with a handful of local dive centers offering shore and boat trips to nearby sandy and rocky reefs, walls, and wrecks along the coast. The area is known for relatively warm water in summer, modest visibility, and common invertebrates and small reef fish. Nearby freshwater options are limited within the city itself; divers looking for training or casual dives typically base themselves here and travel to nearby sites along the coast.
