Aegean Divers - Diving in Greece
 
Dive Type: Cavern Diver
Location: Diving in Santorini is known for the clear waters and hence the excellent visibility, which at times can reach 50m. This contributes to the unique experience of diving within the caldera which still shows signs of underwater volcanic activity. Our diving expeditions take place primarily in the south and west part of the island, where you can find the Mansel reef, the isle of Thirassia with its great wall diving, a wreck at 30-33 m as well as a beautiful area with underwater caves. There are many more diving sites to surprise you with when you come and dive with us.
