- Limnē - Guests are picked up from their hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan and taken to the dive site. Equipment is prepared, and an experienced instructor provides a brief overview of the dive. The “Blue Hole,” resembling a man-made well, is located in the Vouliagmeni area, near Vouliagmeni Lake. Situated in a stunning rocky bay, it is about 10 meters from the shore, with depths ranging from 10 to 30 meters. Its width of approximately 4 meters and easy access make it an ideal dive for even less experienced divers! The “Blue Hole” is believed to be connected to Vouliagmeni Lake through an unexplored underwater cave system. All divers must be certified at least to the Open Water Diver level and will have DAN insurance. For those not certified, the Discover Scuba program offers a beginner’s experience at a different dive site. The crew also carries an underwater camera and, upon request, will capture and provide all your memories at the end of the dive, free of charge!

Great Diving Center and Instructor - Danae - Amazing Service ! I was looking for a scuba diving center that could take out a solo diver an a bit off season , they picked me up from my Hotel in Athens , and drove to the dive shop to get fitted for wetsuit and gear . Then we drove to the dive site to do the shore dive . My dive instructor was Danae and she was amazing and helped me get readjusted since it was a few months since my last dive . Great experience and service was excellent from Her and the whole shop. Best experience for anyone new or returning to Athens who would like accommodations from the city center. Also amazing photography work from her end !

Best Dive Master Ever!!! Great Communication - We have a great experience. I took the trip with my adult son. Danae was a wonderful divemaster. She was professional and friendly. The dive was explained to us well, so we were prepared for everything that we experienced. We felt extremely safe with Extreme Divers, and if I return to Greece, this company would be my number one choice. Danae picked us up at our hotel, and all the equipment was ready to go.
The entry from Limanaka Beach did involve a slight hike, so you'll need to be steady on your feet with the gear for this one. The rock in Greece can be a little slippery, so caution is advised. However, everything was explained to us in advance, and our divemaster ensured we were ready for the walk to the entry point.
The company will even take photos of you during the dive and email them to you. So you don't have to worry about bringing your camera gear if you don't want to. One less thing to pack.

Wonderful day with wonderful guides! - Great experience!
In advance I warned the company that my wife and I have not dived in 3 years and are therefore very inexperienced. Extreme Divers was very understanding and assured us that we would be well taken care of!
From the hotel we were picked up exactly the time we had agreed and we were received by Danae! One of the best tutors we have had! Incredibly friendly, educational and nice!
At their dive center we were welcomed by George who told us about their business and did everything to make us feel welcome! Then it was off to the dive site, a beach about 30 minutes from their dive club. Danae helped us with all the equipment and in the water we went through some exercises to repeat the most important things. Then it was off into the water!
The dive was in 40 minutes and we were taken down to 10 meters depth with amazing sights, even an octopus we got to see!
After that Danae offered to drive us to Poseidon's Temple for a small extra cost and then back to Athens city center!
Thank you so much for a fantastic experience! You made our whole vacation in Athens!

BEST DIVING EXPERIENCE EVER - Where do I even begin. This place is absolutely OUTSTANDING. All of the staff are SO friendly, accommodating, flexible, and kind. They were willing to accommodate almost every request and were completely happy to answer any of my questions. I never felt like a bother or stupid and they were always extremely helpful. They made me feel like a friend, which was a refreshing break from most agencies which just make you feel like another tourist. These people really do care about you and making your individual experience special.
Even with the friendly approach, they were extremely professional and there was no point I felt unsafe. I'm also a beginner diver, and they did a wonderful job of helping me to feel welcome and safe. It can be hard going on your first dive because making a mistake can be so paralyzing, but with them I never felt embarrassed or upset. They created an environment that empowered me to learn from my mistakes.
The dive itself was also beautiful and we saw so much wildlife!! Danae, our guide, was excellent at pointing out all of the features and creatures that I otherwise might not have noticed (we saw an octopus)!! And they took wonderful pictures as well which was included in the price. Super awesome plus.
All in all this was an amazing experience, especially for me as a beginner. They even recommended me dinner places and drove me there for free, just because it was close by. These people will seriously make you feel like family and are absolutely incredible. I can't say enough how much I recommend this place, and I will definitely be going back. Best diving EVER !!

Advanced diving course - Evan and Danae were so helpful and really made everything so easy. I did the advanced course with them, and felt very safe with knowing I had a knowledgable and experienced dive buddy. We went to 30m in a sink hole which was amazing, would recommend anyone to go diving with them, new to diving or wanting to expand their experience.

This dive trip was a highlight of our trip to Athens - Danae was a terrific dive master. She picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the water. We took a speedboat to two different dive sites. The second one had a shipwreck. She did a great job leading the dive. And it was a lovely surprise that she took tons of photos and videos of us during the dives so that we have a great record of the experience. I would dive with her again. Also, a bonus: our teenagers absolutely loved the fast speedboat ride on the Aegean Sea on our way back to the harbor.

We did a shore dive south of Athens. Was a super hot day so perfect for diving! - Super helpful, knowledgable and friendly staff! This was our first real dive and we felt super comfortable. Equipment was in great condition.

Absolutely wonderful! - Oh my gosh, what lovely experience! My husband and I are decently experienced divers but we haven't gone diving in a few years. Denae was so patient and personable,making sure we remembered everything and assisting with gear. George at the shop was so friendly, you can tell they both love what they do. We had an awesome dive...Denae pointed out all kinds of critters we never would have seen, and we saw an octopus! Afterwards they suggested an awesome restaurant with an incredible view of the city and even dropped us off. Can't say enough good things about this operation!

Bad post experience customer service - Dive was fine (expensive for a single dive), one of our group got injured right before the dive, slipping down the slope with the heavy gear. They told us to contact the office for partial refund...and that's when I got ghosted. Well, here you go.
