Description

Unlike a short shore-based dive, this experience combines scuba diving with a full day out on the water. Beginners get time to practise before their dive, certified divers can join the same trip, and afterwards there is time to snorkel, swim and relax. Another big advantage is that mixed groups can stay together: divers, snorkellers and non-divers can all enjoy the same boat day. Waterhoppers has been operating in Rhodes since 1990, bringing decades of local diving experience to every trip.

Just a perfect day

The best experience ever. The guides were so good and made everyone comfortable. It felt very safe, and we all had a good time. Me and my boy took second dive in the afternoon. And it was the greatest experience on this holiday. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in diving. Thanks to all the skilled divers and for the amazing advices we had this day.

Great Wreck, Fantastic Company

Booking directly with the company was a breeze—within a few hours, all of my details were confirmed via WhatsApp, and by the next day, I had proactive updates regarding my driver for the hotel pickup. Their organization from start to finish was top-notch. Out on the water, the experience was just as impressive. The equipment was in excellent condition, the dive briefings were thorough, and the crew took outstanding care of everyone on board. The wreck itself was fantastic, teeming with vibrant marine life, and we were even treated to a passing turtle! I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone planning to dive in Rhodes.

Great experience, do it!

We thought this was an excellent day out, booked as a birthday gift for my partner as something new we hadn't done before. We both did the 'try dive' and paid beforehand for the extra dive (seems to be the same price before or on the trip in case you're not sure what to do). At the time was €70 for one dive, €105 for two. As it is literally a full day 8:30am till 4:30pm, would highly recommend the two dives otherwise I imagine it feels like you're stuck on the (not moving) boat all day while they get through the groups. Bring your own food or buy in cash on the boat, the sandwiches were more than ok and good drink / snack selection if you need. Staff super friendly and helpful, very reassuring throughout the day. We absolutely loved two dives, great experience and we would have done stage 1 of the PADI if we had one more day to spare in Greece! Highly recommend this company for your first or indeed experienced diving trip! Memory for life!

A unique experience for all lovers of the ocean depths

I've always loved snorkeling to explore the underwater world, so it was time to take it to the next level by trying scuba diving. You can choose to try it out, go on multiple dives, snorkel in the area, or take a course to get certified as a diver at various levels. The lessons are clear and fast-paced, and the team consists of qualified enthusiasts from all over the world, allowing them to offer lessons tailored to each language. The divers guide us and ensure our safety. Everything is done to make sure we have fun, and our consent is respected. You’re not forced to dive if you don’t feel like it or if you change your mind for any reason. I have absolutely no regrets about this experience, and I’m ready to do it again to complete the different levels. Thank you to the whole team, especially Tania, Claudia, Michelle, Joshua, Aurora, Will, Jake, Lucas, and Captain Spyros. Have a great end of season, and see you soon!

Fantastic family first dive!

Absolutely fantastic first diving experience! We had an amazing experience with Waterhoppers Dive School as a family of three, including our 13-year-old, and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. This was our first ever dive together as a family, and Kevin, our dive leader, was calm, patient and incredibly reassuring throughout. Colin was a fabulous teacher who made everything feel fun, relaxed and easy to understand, while also giving us the confidence we needed. The whole experience was brilliantly organised, professional and, most importantly, fun. We all felt safe and supported from start to finish, and being able to share our first dive together made it a really special family experience. A huge thank you to the whole team for making our first dive such a fantastic memory. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Fantastic diving experience

The group was 9 people with some of them being the first time they went diving. They have experienced excellent guidance from the instructors with an eye for detail. Beautiful pictures afterwards with even a nice group photo underwater. A wonderful experience.
