Greece offers a unique diving experience, set against the backdrop of its beautiful coastline, dotted with iconic blue roofs and whitewashed buildings. With the Ionian Sea to the west and the Aegean to the east, Greece boasts more than 240 inhabited islands, each with its own distinct underwater charm. The country's rich seafaring history is evident in the multitude of shipwrecks scattered across the seabed, drawing divers into a captivating world where history meets marine life. Since the lifting of diving restrictions in 2006, these sites have become accessible, allowing divers to explore artefacts that once lay hidden. The Greek islands offer a diverse range of diving environments, from the vertical walls and caverns of Chios Island to the stunning rock formations of Mykonos, where divers may encounter monk seals. Santorini's volcanic past has shaped an intriguing landscape of lava tubes, caverns, and caves, inviting exploration.
For those seeking adventure, the wreck of the Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic, offers a unique dive site. Greece’s clear waters, warm temperatures, and minimal currents make it an ideal destination for divers of all levels, with numerous dive centers offering courses and certifications. Traveling between Greece’s islands is easy, and many divers opt for a liveaboard experience to maximize their exploration of the best dive sites in less time. Whether shore diving from a beach or embarking on a liveaboard adventure, Greece’s underwater world promises unforgettable experiences with its blend of history, marine biodiversity, and stunning underwater landscapes. Divers are reminded to tread lightly, preserving the beauty and historical significance of Greece’s underwater treasures for future generations.
