Here to assist you 7/7About the activity
In the north-east of the Attica Peninsula, Nea Makri is a seaside resort lined with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, making it a true little paradise for relaxation. But beyond offering this pleasant swimming setting, the town is also perfect for discovering scuba diving near Athens! Here, you will find the Kanelakis Diving Experiences dive centre, which offers beginners the chance to try the activity while receiving an SSI Try Scuba certificate at the end of the experience, recognised internationally. Ideal if you enjoy the activity and would like to continue your scuba diving training afterwards! Another advantage is that the theory lesson you receive before entering the water is more comprehensive than for a simple introductory dive, and you will have time to become properly familiar with your equipment and the surrounding environment in shallow water before the actual dive.
This introductory scuba diving experience in Nea Makri will allow you to complete your very first scuba dive in crystal-clear waters at a pleasant temperature (at least 17°C in winter!). You will set off directly from the beach, but that will not stop you from being able to observe plenty of small fish, even close to the shore. Each diving instructor will take care of a small group of no more than 4 divers, ensuring safety and personalised supervision throughout the experience. You will have time to familiarise yourself with your equipment, not only at the centre, where you will receive a theory lesson on the basics of scuba diving, but also in the water during dedicated exercises before your 30 to 40-minute dive to a maximum depth of 6 metres.
Accessible from the age of 8, provided you can swim, this Discover Scuba Diving experience in Nea Makri will certainly make you want to dive again. So don’t hesitate and book your place to discover scuba diving near Athens!
