Paleokastritsa Dive Trip
We meet every day at 10am to prepare for our diving trips.
We go diving using our boats and choosing from amongst 22 beautiful dive sites.
Spectacular caverns and caves, incredible walls and reefs with different kinds of fish and interesting wrecks are some of the dive sites that will make this experience unforgettable.
The dives last 45-50 minutes. All diving equipment can be provided. Starting with paperwork, we then prepare equipment and organize the different groups of divers.
There are different groups for open water divers and advanced divers. We then leave to do two dives at different dive sites.

Divers from all diving organizations are welcome to come and dive with us.
