Diving in Athens

While there is not much diving that occurs in Greece’s capital city itself, Athens is full of top-notch dive stores and is a perfect central location to base your diving adventures from. Staying in Athens allows you to experience all that the region of Attica has to offer from a world-class metropolitan city. Just a short boat ride from the capital you will find hidden coves, amazing shipwrecks, caverns, and impressive vertical walls all surrounded by unique marine life, and coral formations. While you are here, you will want to dive Tripiti Reef, the Apollonia VI wreck, the Portugal wreck, and the Groupers Nest.

The responsibility for verifying the legality of the dive and assessing any associated risks rests entirely with you.
