スキューバ ダイブ: カリテアの水中探検

I booked this scuba dive as a late birthday gift for my fiancé, we also got engaged a few days earlier, so it was a really special trip for us. Overall, it was an incredible experience, but there were a few things that could have been better. The good: · The staff were genuinely nice and helpful. They made small talk with us while helping us put on our gear, and they even had nausea gum on the boat for anyone who felt seasick. · They also offered hotel pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole experience much easier and less stressful. · Safety was a clear priority. There was one instructor plus two other professionals watching us from above the whole time. That level of attention made me feel safer, especially as a first-time diver. The issues: · Goggles: My goggles weren't put on correctly, so water slowly leaked in throughout the dive, enough to be uncomfortable, but not completely filled. One of the professionals watching me noticed and told me to surface. He even said it wasn't my fault and that they should have double-checked with me before we went down. · Weight distribution: The weights around my waist plus the oxygen tank felt really heavy on me, so I felt weighed down. Meanwhile, my fiancé felt like his weights weren't heavy enough and felt like he kept floating up. It felt like a potential hazard, if I didn't know how to swim, I honestly think I could have been in danger. · Group separation: About halfway through, I couldn't see my fiancé or the other girl in our group. The only person with me was one of the professionals. I think the instructor should have made sure everyone stayed together. Cleanliness: When we ordered drinks on the boat to help with nausea, the woman behind the bar was kind and recommended Coke. But when she handed us the cans, the lids had some kind of grimy meat/food residue on them. She dunked and shook them in a tub of water, but they were still dirty. I had to wipe mine and my fiancé’s can down with hand sanitizer and pick grime out of the nook, not great for anyone, especially a germaphobe. · Photos: The instructor was the only one with a camera (we weren't allowed to take our phones down). We paid €25 for the photos, but most of them were of my fiancé. I wish there were more of me but honestly, I love him, so I don't mind looking at him lol. Still, for the price, it would have been nice to have more balance. Final thoughts: Despite the issues, it was still an amazing experience and I'm glad we did it. The staff were kind, the hotel pick-up was super convenient, and safety was taken seriously. But the goggles, weight distribution, and photo situation really could have been handled better.

Excellent, well organised day! All the instructors were brilliant and made you feel safe and comfortable for a first time dive. A must do activity when in Rhodes!

Very professional, experience and knowledgeable staff. A great trip for adult and 14 year old. Offered the opportunity to complete the PADI course and this was arranged perfectly and smoothly end to end. Faultless experience and highly recommend for divers of all experience.

My two teenage boys decided to get scuba certified. Over 2 fun days, Ryan taught us the ins and outs. He was patient and a good teacher. The entire crew was friendly and accommodating. While they sell some sandwiches and chips on board, best to bring a picnic lunch if you think you’ll get hungry. About 60 people on the boat each day but didn’t really feel that crowded. Would definitely recommend.

We revisited the town of Rhodes to show a family member how wonderful it is. We only got to show him a small amount of this wonderful place due to an unexpected rain storm which lasted 3 hours and soaked us all. We still got to show him parts of Rhodes which he found fascinating and well worth the visit. We left Rhodes with the unusual souvenirs of 3 umbrellas 😳☂️

Got picked up at the hotel and drove down to the dooks here in rhodos. The staff is super friendly and good space on the boat. The instructors are really helpfull and really goes the lenght to make this a great experience.

The staff was very friendly, there are people for several languages, (fr, en, es,...) we will swim is private, since we were bcp we waited qq time before doing activity (restoration on site but not cheap Point of Sale)
