Diving & Scuba Diving in Athens

The coastline of Athens and Attica in general offers a plethora of water activities and certainly an underwater experience both unforgettable and unique.

There are many areas with ship and plane wrecks, canyons and caverns, caves and reefs, and of course the beauty of the seabed and marine life. In order to explore what lies beneath, one has to learn to scuba dive and can do so by visiting a certified diving center (most diving centers in Athens are certified by PADI: the Professional Association of Diving Instructors) where the equipment and training provided will guarantee a safe and enjoyable dive.

No prior experience with scuba diving is necessary, but a reasonable level of physical health is required and the guidance of a diving instructor is necessary. It is forbidden to dive individually as there are antiquities and artifacts lying on the seabed and the supervision of licensed professionals makes sure they will be reported.
