Diving in Greece will bring a lot of pleasure to lovers of the underwater world. But it should be remembered that in this country it is best to dive in the composition of specialized groups. The country has a law prohibiting diving in places of interest from an archaeological point of view. In this country, almost every hotel has its own dive centers, so it will not be difficult to choose an interesting diving program for yourself.
Aegean islands
It is here, according to experienced divers, that the best dive sites in the country are located.
Lesbos
There are many great spots along the coastline. But the most popular is the rocky town of Petra, not far from which there are several interesting reefs. The second place in Lesvos is Palios. A huge variety of reef rocks await divers here.
Samos
This diving island was discovered not too long ago. The unusually lively underwater world pleases with its composition and beauty.
Thassos
The local most popular dive site has a very beautiful name - "Tears of the Volcano". A completely amazing underwater landscape appears before the eyes of a diver who has sunk to the bottom - sea lava frozen many centuries ago. Moreover, this sight is so impressive that many divers come back here again and again.
Crete
This is an absolutely amazing place. The rocks that make up the landscapes of the sea coast smoothly move under the water, becoming its mirror image. Diving here will be very interesting. In addition, the underwater reefs and rocks have become home to such bottom dwellers as octopuses, conger eels, perches, as well as numerous schools of curious fish.
If we talk about the most interesting dive sites of Crete, then this is the area of Skinaria. The seabed in this area is a submarine canyon where life never stops. In the north of the island, you should definitely visit Panormo. There is a completely unique "cemetery" of Venetian anchors - an absolutely amazing and picturesque diving spot.
The next diving spot is the blue and white island of Santorini. Getting here during the Greek Island won't be an impossible task. Of particular interest is the underwater volcano, which is still active. Of course, diving here is an incredibly exciting adventure, but it also requires special care. If you are very lucky, you can "live" watch the underwater eruption. Santorini is not designed for beginners diving.
