Full description
During the 3-hour class, learn the basic rules about scuba equipment and practice essential diving skills in the shallows, before going on a unique, guided, and safe underwater adventure with your PADI instructor. Get the experience of personalized training as you dive in small groups of 3 students or fewer. Progress at your own pace while you meet new friends. The dive site is selected for its ideal conditions for beginners and abundant sea life. The area is well known for its crystal clear water assuring excellent visibility, the absence of currents and of dangerous species and the easy access to a multitude of dive sites. See all the typical marine life in the Mediterranean sea: octopuses, sea anemones, starfishes, moray eels, sea slugs (nudibranchs), and a lot of fish varieties swimming around you. The program is aimed at beginners, so no license or previous experience is needed. All diving equipment is provided. Participants must be at least 10 years old which makes it an experience suitable for the whole family. Furthermore, once you realize that you want to become PADI certified, you will have already done the first step.

Emilios was the loveliest instructor and my group and I had a brilliant time. Very attentive and felt very safe for first time divers. We saw lots of cool despite including an octopus! Collected from our hotel and dropped off while also showing us a bit more of Halkidiki. 10/10 recommend!!

This experience was one of the highlights of our holiday in Greece. The instructions were very clear and we both felt very safe. Our guide Emilios was very kind, supportive and funny, helping to make this already very special day even better! Unexpectedly he had gone the extra mile, bringing an underwater camera so that we could capture photos. Amazing all around!!!

It was amazing to scuba dive in such an amazing environment so quickly. It was definitely worth the price and I would really do it again. Perhaps the instructor could be just a little bit better in giving his students a little bit of freedom in the water. But overall: such a great experience and great service for a reasonable price!
