Maximum 18 m; the centre rates it Open Water / Scuba Diver (12 m) level.
Rated 'easy' and Open Water / Scuba Diver (12 m) level by the centre. Access from Fiskardo is across the channel, so by boat, though the centre does not state it. The 18 m maximum suits Open Water training dives.
How it got there.
The centre reports amphora fragments from different periods along the route. Wikipedia records the Polis Cave, near Stavros in the north of Ithaca, as a place of worship from the Early Bronze Age to the Roman period; the sources retrieved do not say how it relates to the dive.
