Highlights
  • Limnē - We pick you up from your hotel with our airconditioned mini van and we head to the dive site. We prepare our equipment . Your experienced instructor will give you a short briefing about the dive and we are ready to dive. The “Blue Hole” looks like a man-made well located at Vouliagmeni area, very close to Vouliagmeni lake. It is at a beautiful rocky bay about 10 meters from the coast and it starts from 10 meters depth going down to 30 meters. Its width is about 4 meters and that, along with the easy access, makes it an easy dive ideal even for the less experienced divers!! The “Blue Hole” is considered to be connected with Vouliagmeni lake through an underwater cave system that has not been explored yet. All divers should be certified at least Open Water Diver level and will be DAN insured. If you are not a certified diver you can experience scuba diving with the Discover Scuba program that is for beginners at another dive site. Our crew also holds an underwater camera and - if you wish - we will make sure that all your memories will be recorded and given to you at the end of the dive - free of charge!

Blue Hole and Beyond - Great day from start to finish. From getting picked up then fitted for our gear we were off to the Blue Hole for an awesome dive. After the dive we took a nice drive along the sunny coastline to see the Temple of Poseidon. Very cool. It was also nice to get video and pictures to remember our special day. Thanks to George and everyone else at Extreme Divers for an unforgettable time.

Superb fun-dive - A great experience. This was a first dive after completing PADI Open Water Course 10 months earlier. Evan, the dive master, gave a very detailed brief of the dive beforehand and made sure I felt safe and comfortable. Evan has very professional and knowledgeable approach which I appreciated very much as I have been extreme sports instructor in my previous life and can spot a qualified pro when I see one. The scuba equipment was in very good shape and good quality. Evan took pictures and videos through-out the dive and sent them to me few days after the dive. Evan also gave some tips how to spend some time in Athens, and we had a very interesting conversation of current affairs in our respective countries as well. Evan also offered to drop me off to the metro station so I could make my way back to Athens center. Simply a great experience!

Best Scuba in Athens - I cannot say enough good things about George and Evan. From the ease of scheduling the dive with George to the fresh pastries Evan bought for us when he picked us up a tour hotel in the morning. Everything was perfect! George and Evan are both very knowledgeable, professional and kind. It was my first dive in 5 years. I was with my two sons, and it was their first dive since completing their Padi Certifications. The dive was both adventurous and fun. It was our first time in Athens and if/when we go back, we will be definitely using Extreme Divers again.

Very responsive and accommodating staff/owners - I highly recommend Extreme Divers to any scuba divers heading to Athens. The name turned me off initially as I am not extreme in any way and am a beginner diver but they were so quickly responsive to my emails that I decided to book the dives. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and very in tune with the experience level of each diver on our boat and was able to somewhat personalize the dive for each experience level which was awesome. George (one of the owners) is an absolute gentleman and very knowledgeable of Greek history which made the experience so much better for us history nerds. They make the logistics of diving so easy from pickup to equipment handling to drop off at the end of the day. No stress at all. I will definitely be back!

Friendly and helpful dive centre - We don't get to dive anywhere near as often as we'd like. So, my wife and I (PADI Open Water qualified) jumped at the chance of a couple of dives in Athens. Everything was made incredibly easy. we were collected and dropped off right at the door of our hotel. The staff at the dive centre we all super friendly and knowledgeable and we had 2 really enjoyable dives. Highly recommend these guys to anyone that wants to dive when you;re in Athens.

Blue Hole dive - Extreme divers was very good and safe. The dive site itself was a little rocky and it’s a good walk up and down uneven rocky terrain with all the dive gear as it’s a shore dive to the Blue Hole. Our guide was very attentive to make sure we were safe. If you have hypertension bring a Drs note to assure you are well to dive. We also stopped at Poseidons temple which was an added cost but a wild drive down the coast, BEAUTIFUL day all around! Nice hotel pickup and drop off as well. Thx!!
