- Limnē - Guests are picked up from their hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan and taken to the dive site. Equipment is prepared, and an experienced instructor provides a brief overview of the dive. The “Blue Hole,” resembling a man-made well, is located in the Vouliagmeni area, near Vouliagmeni Lake. Situated in a stunning rocky bay, it is about 10 meters from the shore, with depths ranging from 10 to 30 meters. Its width of approximately 4 meters and easy access make it an ideal dive for even less experienced divers! The “Blue Hole” is believed to be connected to Vouliagmeni Lake through an unexplored underwater cave system. All divers must be certified at least to the Open Water Diver level and will have DAN insurance. For those not certified, the Discover Scuba program offers a beginner’s experience at a different dive site. The crew also carries an underwater camera and, upon request, will capture and provide all your memories at the end of the dive, free of charge!

Advanced diving course - Evan and Danae were so helpful and really made everything so easy. I did the advanced course with them, and felt very safe with knowing I had a knowledgable and experienced dive buddy. We went to 30m in a sink hole which was amazing, would recommend anyone to go diving with them, new to diving or wanting to expand their experience.

This dive trip was a highlight of our trip to Athens - Danae was a terrific dive master. She picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the water. We took a speedboat to two different dive sites. The second one had a shipwreck. She did a great job leading the dive. And it was a lovely surprise that she took tons of photos and videos of us during the dives so that we have a great record of the experience. I would dive with her again. Also, a bonus: our teenagers absolutely loved the fast speedboat ride on the Aegean Sea on our way back to the harbor.

We did a shore dive south of Athens. Was a super hot day so perfect for diving! - Super helpful, knowledgable and friendly staff! This was our first real dive and we felt super comfortable. Equipment was in great condition.

Absolutely wonderful! - Oh my gosh, what lovely experience! My husband and I are decently experienced divers but we haven't gone diving in a few years. Denae was so patient and personable,making sure we remembered everything and assisting with gear. George at the shop was so friendly, you can tell they both love what they do. We had an awesome dive...Denae pointed out all kinds of critters we never would have seen, and we saw an octopus! Afterwards they suggested an awesome restaurant with an incredible view of the city and even dropped us off. Can't say enough good things about this operation!

Blue Hole and Beyond - Great day from start to finish. From getting picked up then fitted for our gear we were off to the Blue Hole for an awesome dive. After the dive we took a nice drive along the sunny coastline to see the Temple of Poseidon. Very cool. It was also nice to get video and pictures to remember our special day. Thanks to George and everyone else at Extreme Divers for an unforgettable time.
