You’ll travel by air-conditioned minivan from central Athens, the airport, or Piraeus to the Blue Hole near Vouliagmeni Lake. With an Open Water certificate, an instructor such as Denae or Evan will brief you, fit your equipment, and guide a shore-based descent to about 30 meters. Pickup, gear, refreshments, and DAN insurance are included.

“Dive was fine (expensive for a single dive), one of our group got injured right before the dive, slipping down the slope with the heavy gear. They told us to contact the office for partial refund...and that's when I got ghosted. Well, here you go.”

From Kanelakis Diving Experiences in Nea Makri, Dimitris leads certified scuba guests by speedboat to sites near Platourada Island, Dipsa Island, and Marathon Cape. Expect wrecks, caverns, walls, warm water, and a surface break with snacks on double outings. Poor weather may mean a sheltered shore outing instead.

“Our Dive Instructor Dmitris is professional, courteous, patient, very generous, and knowledgeable of the terrain and village of Marathons and Nea Makris. He took my wife and I on shoredive (s), showed us wildlife and will email us gopro videos from our dives. The Kanelakis Dive shop is very well decorated and well equipped with clean and efficient dive gear. Cressi bcd, regulators, and wetsuits. We came from Attika region of Greek which was 45 minutes away. Due to traffic and delayed transportation time, Dmitris was kind enough to let us stay in his shop while offering us water and snacks to keep us sustained.”
