Activity description

Take your first class of scuba diving in Zante and explore the incredible marine life of this magical island and its underwater world! Welcoming adventurers from ages 10 and up, who are in good physical condition and have basic swimming skills. 

Zakynthos, or Zante, is a popular Greek island destination. It is the third-largest of the Ionian Islands and is situated to the west of the Greek mainland. Zakynthos is known for its stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and beautiful beaches. The island is very popular for scuba diving, due to its clear waters, diverse marine life, and interesting underwater topography. Zakynthos boasts several dive sites catering to various skill levels.

You will start your scuba diving adventure at the dive centre in Zakynthos. You will meet the qualified instructors, and receive your scuba diving equipment (a mask, fins and a wetsuit). You will then have a briefing about the history of scuba diving, the dive you are about to do and what type of fish you will see underwater! The group is small, with a maximum of 4 participants and 2 scuba instructors, to ensure the utmost safety during the dive.

Starting off in waist-deep water, you will practice a trial dive to learn how to breathe with the scuba gear until you are comfortable enough to go on the real dive. Once you feel accustomed to breathing with the scuba gear, you will go exploring an amazing small reef in a little bay that is perfect for your first time! Teeming with marine life, you may see ornate wrasse, Mediterranean rainbow wrasse, red scorpionfish, white sea bream, striped sea bream, Mediterranean moray, octopus, sea urchin, sea stars and many more. The depth gradually increases to a maximum of 6 meters, with lovely clear waters allowing you to see the surface and the seabed!

The experienced instructors will also capture some high-quality photographs of you underwater. You can make your dive memories last and share them with your loved ones. After your enjoyable underwater adventure, you will return to the starting point equipped with the knowledge of how to scuba dive safely!

This professional first scuba diving adventure is perfect for beginners who want to experience the thrill of exploring underwater and swimming with fish! Book this unforgettable excursion from Zakynthos in Greece now.

La actividad muy buena, nos dieron todas las explicaciones y entendimos a ma perfección, una anotación es que entendemos el ingles poco casi nada y aun siendo una excursión en ingles entendimos bastante las explicaciones, se esmeraron para que lo entendiéramos. A si que si solo habláis español y queréis hacerlo, lo entenderéis sin problemas.

For my brother and I, this was our first experience of scuba diving and it completely exceeded both of our expectations. From the explanations of equipment use to the actual scuba diving it was fantastic and will definitely be giving it another go next time. As well as this, we were provided with many (30 ish) very high quality photos of our experience which to my surprise were a souvenir given to us by the instructor/company. It was an amazing couple of hours and will highly recommend to my closest friends and family.

The overall experience was really good, we thought the training was sufficient however there was no opportunity to take photos and we never got any pictures throughout the whole experience which was really disappointing
