This site, like many others on the northeastern Mediterranean coast, is most likely submerged due to earthquake activity in the region. The site here is on the coast of the Argolic Gulf, which is a graben (down-dropped tectonic block). The main fault is on land, on the southern shore[1].
I want to say some of the temples where Paul lectured to the Corinthians are also underwater due to faulting (the Gulf of Corinth is tectonically subsiding) but I can't find the reference. (I'm not actually sure that he gave lectures, either; I think I heard this in a geology class).
