A good experience

Beautiful drive. Would never have found the beach. Emilios was super friendly and patient. Much confidence in having someone who is professional and knows his field. A good trip with good memories.

Operator response

Thank you, Lena, for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the whole experience, both above and below the water. I hope to see you again soon for more unforgettable underwater experiences!!

Unforgettable First Dive & Amazing Open Water Experience!

I had the most incredible experience with Dive Greece, honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to scuba diving. This was my very first dive, and Emilios made all the difference. He is an exceptionally professional, patient, and reassuring instructor who immediately put me at ease. He explained everything clearly, checked in regularly, and made sure I felt safe and confident every step of the way. A big thank you as well to Dive Master Alex, who was incredibly supportive throughout the experience. He helped me a lot with the learning process, offering guidance, encouragement, and making sure I was comfortable both in and out of the water. Having both of them there made everything feel even more smooth and enjoyable. The dive itself was absolutely breathtaking—crystal-clear waters, stunning underwater scenery, and such a peaceful, almost surreal atmosphere. It completely exceeded my expectations and left me wanting more from the moment I surfaced. What really stood out was the team’s passion, professionalism, and attention to detail. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people the best possible experience, whether it’s your first dive or you’re progressing further. Thanks to their excellent guidance, I was able to complete my Open Water certification in just 3 days, which was an amazing achievement for me and a testament to how well they teach and support their students. I was so inspired by the experience that I’m already looking forward to continuing my diving journey with them. Highly, highly recommend Dive Greece to anyone considering diving, especially if it’s your first time. You’ll be in the best hands!

Super experience and professional diving instructor

We spontaneously decided to book the diving course. From hotel pick-up to instruction in diving equipment to the final dive everything was super organized and the instructor Emilios had a very professional and calm charisma all the time. We did the dive with Emilios as a couple, so we felt very well looked after during the dive. For us it was the first diving experience and it was an experience we can recommend to anyone, even if you are a bit nervous at first and have respect for the depth in the water.

Operator response

Thank you, Marie! You did great during your dive and learned very quickly. It was a real pleasure to meet you and dive together. I hope to see you again soon!

If you are thinking about it, do it!

Emilios was a fantastic instructor, he had us in the water in no time. His tuition was calm and collected and put everyone at ease in minutes. No one had ever scuba dived before but in minutes we were loving every second. If you have ever thought about it, book now you won't regret it.

Operator response

I'm very glad that you have enjoyed your first dive. You did great, keep diving! Thank you for your nice words and the rating. I hope to see you again in the near future!

Amazing Experience! Book it!

This was amazing! Emilios and his Dive Master were so reassuring and made the experience so memorable. We started with learning about the equipment on land, then doing drills in shallow water, and then we went on the dive. We saw some incredible marine life - it was breathtaking. They also picked me up and dropped me off to my hotel which was a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Thank you Joelle! You did great, keep diving!

Brilliant diving in a beautiful part of Greece

As our first dive after qualifying in the UK we found Emilios to be very knowledgeable, professional and reassuring. We did two dives, all equipment was taken care of, Emilios guided us and pointed out things of interest like octopuses. Swimming through an underwater cavern was a real highlight. Emilios also took lots of photos which he’s sent to us. Best day of the holiday by far - thanks Emilios!

Operator response

Thank you Ainsley, you are great buddies!
