A great day! - We had a great day. The transfer between the hotel and the port was top, the shuttle on time and the driver very pleasant.
Once aboard the boat, we received the full briefing in French. A plus for people who don't speak English.
While waiting for our passage, we can swim freely next to the boat with mask and snorkel (available free of charge).
The staff was really great! A special mention to Giorgia who accompanied me and reassured me throughout the dive. For a first time I really enjoyed it and I keep a very good memory thanks to her.
I recommend 100%

Brilliant experience of PADI open water and advanced courses - Water hoppers/in-depth is a brilliant dive school with lots of brilliant instructors who offer fantastic Intel in to the dive sites and knowledge of overall diving and are always kind, constructive and wiling to help with anything. Some brilliant instructors including Anna, Kevin, Christian, Alana and Clem. Me and my brother completed both our PADI open water and advanced open water courses here and we found it to be a fantastic and beautiful place to learn and imbed many diving skills whilst experiencing lots of breath taking dive sites. Water hoppers gave such a brilliant experience of diving and I can’t recommend this centre enough!! 😁

Amazing experience - My son and I did 3 dives in the last couple of weeks, our first time scuba diving, and it was amazing.
The scuba team are great, very friendly, and they well explained all procedures.
We had a lot of them keeping an eye on us when we dive for precaution.
The beach where we done the scuba is so beautiful
For sure, this experience was the highlight of our holidays
Highly recommend

Fantastic Experience for My Son’s First Dive! - My son did the PADI Bubblemaker dive today with Waterhoppers in Rhodes and it was such a wonderful experience. He was very nervous at first and didn’t do the first dive, but after some snorkelling to build his confidence, he tried the second dive and absolutely loved it!
The whole team were incredible, so kind, patient, and encouraging. A special thank you to Sharon and Claudia, without their support, I don’t think he would have had the confidence to give it a go.
Marian sold the trip to us at our hotel and also drove us to the port on the day. She was fantastic. So friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing with my son, even helping him with his confidence before we got on the boat.
The trip itself was brilliantly organised, professional, and run with genuine care for all guests. A big shout-out to Sharon, Paul, Marian, Claudia, Georgia, and the rest of the crew on board on 8/8/25 – you made the day so special for us.
I would 100% recommend Waterhoppers to anyone visiting Rhodes, they are a truly outstanding dive centre!

‘Best day ever!’ - We have just had the best day. Our group is mum (50) and two teens (14 and 18). We’ve never dived and were unsure. The crew were highly professional, caring, attentive, fun and welcoming. Absolutely do this trip! My youngest says it’s the best day of her life! Just wonderful.

A top Dive School! Here you want to have your first dive! - Absolutely recommended!!! Both for experienced and ‘new’ divers. We were warmly received. Good DE explanation, several times a repetition of the safety rules.
DE dive EN (Try-dive and a 2nd dive) were super guided. Guidance both under and above water. Not normally so friendly, quiet, clear in explanation...so nice!
To be honest, it was also nice to have Dutch speaking supervisors. For DE kinder EN (11 and 10 years) it was nice.
Our daughter didn't manage to clear it; no problem, she guided her quietly so she could finish her dive. I was also made aware of beautiful fish a few times! In short: an experience you don't want to miss!!
A first dive? Go for IT! It is in good hands with Waterhoppers!!

The best dive company in the Mediterranean, and possibly beyond! - Thank you so much to all the team for an amazing time. We came 6+ years ago for my first dive and after many more dives decided to come back. Me, my brother and my dad all ended up getting our open water licences! I want to give a special thanks to Paul and Mike for helping to accommodate my brothers needs so well (and persuading him to carry on with the license), as well as Sam, Lefty, Claudia, Gustavo and of course Paul again for the best 2 days of diving I think I’ve ever had. I hope to come back in another 6+ years and someday be part of the team or start my own dive school. I would highly, highly recommend the water hoppers to anybody, whether it’s your first dive or your hundredth. Throughout my different dives I’ve done around the Mediterranean I have always ranked them the highest and will continue to, there is really no one better in my eyes.

Great dive at Kalithea - I had an excellent day with waterhoppers, diving off Kalithea Bay. Really safety focussed and Paul who led the two dives was a real proffessional. (I have PADI open water)
The afternoon dive was especially good, in and around Kalithea Springs, some really spectacular scenery and Plenty of Tiger fish, an Octopus, a moray eel, all good stuff.

• “A Journey Beneath the Surface – and Into My Heart” • “Where the Ocean Meets the Soul – A Perfect Dive” “ - 🌊 A Dive into Magic – The Waterhoppers Diving School Touched My Soul 🌊
From the moment I stepped on board, I could feel that this was more than just a diving trip – it was the beginning of something unforgettable. The Waterhoppers Diving School is not just a company; it’s a family of passionate professionals who create pure magic beneath the surface of the sea.
The instructors are not only highly trained and certified, but they are also incredibly patient, kind, and inspiring. They made me feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way – no matter if it was my first breath underwater or my hundredth dive.
🤿 Every detail is taken care of with love – from the moment you book, to the moment you surface with a heart full of joy. The equipment is top quality, the safety procedures are excellent, and the dive locations are absolutely breathtaking.What touched me the most was the atmosphere on the boat. It’s full of laughter, peace, positive energy, and genuine connection. You’re not treated like a tourist – you’re welcomed like a friend, or even family.
💙 The sea is beautiful, but it’s the people at Waterhoppers that make the experience truly extraordinary.
Whether you’re in Rhodes or Pefkos, this is a must-do experience. It’s not just about diving… it’s about discovering a new side of yourself, embracing nature, and creating memories that will stay in your heart forever.
Thank you to every single person at Waterhoppers for making me feel alive, inspired, and full of joy. I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life – and I can’t wait to return.
⭐ 10/10 – From the depth of my heart, thank you. This was truly life-changing.
— A forever grateful diver

First address in Rhodes ! - One of the best dive centers I got to know and I have already dived quite around the world. I did 4 beautiful, relaxed and top organized dives.
The care is just great from start to finish. I was treated professionally, reputably and extremely fairly.
The nice conversations with Marion stayed in my memory for a long time.
Conclusion: If you intend to dive or learn to dive in Rhodes, then you should definitely do so with Whatershoppers Diving.
