Details
If you've always wanted to get to know the underwater world, our trial dive in Zakynthos is just right for you! In the crystal clear waters of the island, you can swim with many colourful fish and other sea creatures. In this course you will learn about the unique flora and fauna of Zakyntos, the famous Caretta-Caretta turtles and about monk seals. Together with one of our certified diving instructors, you will have the opportunity to experience unforgettable moments.
Dive area
Over the years, our team has collected a total of 16 favourite dive sites. We decide on the day of the activity which of our many exciting dive sites we will go to, so that we can factor in the weather and water conditions. Most of the dive sites are only accessible by boat. In case of bad weather, we drive to some dive sites by car. The dive sites, like the Barracuda Reef, are home to many different animals, just like Barracudas, turtles, jellyfish or starfish.
Programme
We meet at our dive centre at the booked time. If you arrive by car, free parking is available directly at the meeting point. We offer a free hotel pick-up service close to the base, which can be arranged after booking. As soon as you arrive at our centre, we will give you a short 1-hour introduction to diving. Our team will explain the most important information for your first dive. After that you will know how to handle your diving equipment, understand easy signs to use underwater and of course the basic safety rules. Afterwards you will get your equipment, which you can try out immediately in our private pool. When you feel confident, we will take you on the boat to our dive site. With a maximum of 4 people per instructor, we make sure that everyone gets enough supervision. At the dive site you can then do a dive that lasts approx. 30 min. and where you dive a maximum of 8m deep. After about 2 hours, we return to our base.
