Hellas

Hellenic Scuba Diving

Strategically located in the southeastern Europe in a maximum 3 hour flight from most European cities, Hellas is one of the newest destinations in the scuba diving family and this is so, for very good reasons: Diving – until 2006 – was significantly restricted, by government and archaeological authorities, so as to protect the rich heritage that still lies down there. Now that the regulation has eased, the country, with its long experience and infrastructure in tourism and its related services, is determined to put itself in the international scuba diving map.

waters, calm sea and the notorious Mediterranean weather, or it’s about a secret hope that this time, diving might just turn into an archaeological adventure, Hellas is the new place, for your next scuba diving experience.

After all, the Hellenes have had a long loving relationship with the sea that continues today with the same passion: sponge hunting, sinking enemy ships, bringing up valuables from the trading vessels that were hit by the weather, you name it, but there have always been good reasons for the Hellenes to “jump in the water” and give birth to some of the most creative forms and myths in the history of the Arts .
