Discover the world of scuba diving, snorkeling and explore the Ionian & Aegean crystal-clear waters in a unique underwater experience, with one-day mini diving courses offering a taste of what diving is all about !!

Over 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. The allure and mystery of the underwater world has inspired the human imagination since prehistory, from the mythological monsters described by seafaring people, to the science fiction of Jules Verne and the modern underwater adventures in Hollywood films. Breath-hold diving, dangerous though it can be, has been used to collect pearls, sponges and valuable commodities from the sea floor for many generations

Scuba diving is an amazing feeling and is as close as a person can get to being weightless without going into space.

Today, scuba diving is accessible to almost anyone with only a modest investment in equipment. Anywhere you want to dive you can usually find a dive shop near-at-hand to rent tanks, go on a guided dive with a master diver, take a chartered boat or just strap on the tanks and swim out from the shore
