Some of Greece's most beautiful dive sites can be found just 5 to 20 minutes from our dive centre in Paleokastritsa. The underwater world off the coastline of Corfu is characterised by stunning rock formations and is home to all sorts of different species, depending on the time of year. Typically, the water temperature lies somewhere between 17 and 25 Degrees Celsius and visibility can be up to 30 metres. Possible dives sites include: Neptune's Hole, The Caves, Odysseus's Cave, the Blue Eye, Colovri Cave, The Chimney, The Hole of Ha, The Bottle, The Monastery, the Colovri Reefs, Donald's Place, The Monument, Liapades Reef, Skeloudi Reef and Aggelokastro Reef. In addition, there is also the possibility to visit some wrecks aswell.
Programme
We meet at our dive centre at 10:00 am, there is free parking available. We will start by taking care of all the paperwork - i.e. checking your certificate and logbook and filling out the medical statement. We will also prepare some rental equipment for you, should you require some. Before getting in the boat, your dive master or instructor will talk you through a full site briefing, and you will be separated into 'buddy' teams based on your level of experience. Then, we will hop on our boat and head out to our first dive site of the day. Our dives last for 45 to 50 minutes, and we always go for two dives at two different dive sites. Between dives, we offer snacks and drinks on the boat. After the second dive, we head back to the dive centre to debrief and to sign and stamp your logbooks.
