Paros Discover Scuba Diving by Boat (No Experience Needed)

Great scuba diving experience suitable for complete beginners. The gear was high quality and the team helped ensure correct fit. We were provided with everything we needed - scuba gear, wet suits, and bottled water & fruit to keep hydrated while on the boat. The instructors were very skilled and patient, and explained clearly the basic skills of scuba diving and hand signals for underwater. We were taken out on a small speedboat to a nearby dive site, given our safety briefing & instructions, and then introduced to the water, where we practiced basic skills and reached depths of up to 10 metres. The dive site was cool with rocky formations, seagrass and some schools of fish. We were under close supervision of the instructor at all times, ensuring our safety. Then we returned to the boat and went to another dive site where we had the opportunity to either pay extra for a second dive, or swim around the site while we waited for the more advanced group. Back at the dive centre, we got our photo package of cool underwater videos & photos (note: additional fee for this). The only thing was that the tripadvisor ad does state that snorkelling equipment is provided - this was not the case for us, which was a little disappointing as we would have loved to snorkel at the second dive site and left our own snorkels at home, thinking they would be provided. Overall a great experience that felt safe and enjoyable.

Good experience for my daughter. For my part, I spent my time spinning around underwater and lying flat on the bottom, probably due to an issue with the vest and/or the weights. My numerous alerts did not elicit a reaction from the instructors, which made my dive very difficult and disappointing.

The staff is what makes this an amazing excursion if you are an inexperienced or experienced diver. They are kind, patient and ensure you are safe. The boat captain catered to our needs even when my daughter became sea sick. For inexperienced divers or those that can get motion sickness be sure to bring medication because the water can be extremely rough and you don’t want that to ruin the trip. Even if you decide scuba is not for you there is opportunity to just swim in the crystal blue water, sun bath and take in the view.

My son and I went diving yesterday with Paros Elite Dive Center. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff, owner and dive master were extremely professional, friendly, courteous, and all-around amazing. I highly recommend Paros Elite Dive Center. If you’re looking for an incredible scuba, diving experience on Paros Island. They cater to both professional divers as well as someone who has never scuba dives before. Highly recommend.!!! 5 star 👍

The crew were very professional and organized. The dive master fit everyone correctly and quickly. She always told us, we were not in a rush so that anyone that was new to diving could feel safe. The only thing that was weird, was she asked us to do our safety stop in the water that was very unusual.. she had a very accurate assessment of each of us.
