If you have ever wanted to scuba dive, this is the place for you! - Such a wonderful experience! Professional and safe! My husband trained in the military, and I surprised him for his birthday. At first he was reluctant to go; afterwards he said they were top notch and knew what they were doing! Three of us had never dove before and at some point all 3 of us needed additional help (way scarier than you think!) They met us where we were at, calmed our fears and continued to encourage us without getting annoyed until we could dive without anxiousness. If you want to try diving, this is the place for you!

Crystal clear water, Mediterranean fish and supportive Dive team, fantastic. - Santorini Dive Academy 3hr beginners dive was an amazing experience. My 16 year old son and I had never dived before, it really made our holiday. The team were friendly and supportive, starting with a briefing and then short 10 min drive to lovely bay where we were gently guided into the water. The water was crystal clear and there were shoals of Mediterranean fish, beautiful. We have some lovely photos and great memories.
