Aegean Divers - Diving in Greece

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.
