1.Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners _Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 549 reviews · 3 - 6 hours · from $81Our pick

Try scuba in Crete at Mononaftis Beach, with a certified instructor, 45-minute underwater session, equipment, insurance, and optional pickup.

“The pros: The guides were super helpful and took safety very seriously. It was a great first experience and we really enjoyed it! The cons: Although the activity was done by 11:30, we still had to wait until 2 pm for the return to the hotel, which was fine, because the beach was really nice, but we didn’t came prepared, so it would have been nice known this in advance (or to be taken back to the hotel earlier) Also, it’s cheaper to purchase the pictures in cash - but we didn’t bring any as we were not told this in advance, so just be aware if you are booking…”

2.(Full day)Scuba Diving in Rhodes

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 466 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Rhodes scuba day for beginners with expert instructors, clear Kallithea waters, one included underwater session, snorkeling, and optional second session.

“Hey, so I had this amazing experience with Mike and his crew. They're super knowledgeable and skilled. The trip is a full day on the boat at the bay, but it's not a full day of scuba diving. You only get one dive that lasts about 10-15 minutes, but you can buy more dives while you're on the boat. They also have free snorkeling equipment if you're into that. This is perfect for beginners because it gives you the confidence to go diving or get certified in diving, which they also offer on the boat..”

“The location was easy to find, and everyone was very friendly and 100% professional! Safety is their top priority. It was my 1st time diving in over 10 years. The instructor took his time and explained everything very carefully, the lesson was interactive and not just read from a script. I was 100% comfortable entering the water with the instructor. The dive from the beach was amazing. The water was crystal clear, and we saw all sorts of marine life and my instructor took a lot of great photos while we were diving and sent them to me the very next day. It was a great dive, and I can't…”

“The experience was very nice. It's just like snorkeling but in the water not at the surface. The instructors were nice and relaxed and polite, especially ours (Freya) wich was amazing and encouraging. I would say it is worthwhile and a must do at least once. You can always go to the surface in seconds so you don't feel any danger, always light, always others, you can always see the bottom. Definitely worth the price.”

Learn scuba basics, then explore Santorini’s clear caldera waters, reef, and fish with patient instructors in a small group.

“This was one of the most anticipated events of our honeymoon for me. I was extremely excited and confident yet when it came time to do it I have to admit I was terrified. Our instructor did a fantastic job at explaining everything and being clear with instructions but for some reason I was still scared when I had everything on and in the water. Luckily he took the time to instill confidence in me by taking baby steps with breathing, slowly descending to practice ear pressure control, and then learning the basics of underwater buoyancy. After doing this I was way more comfortable in just a matter of minutes…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 83 reviews · 3 hours · from $92

Try scuba in Kassandra with a PADI instructor, small groups, clear water, Mediterranean sea life, hotel pickup, and gear included.

“The experience was awesome. Our instructor made sure we’re okay throughout the entire dive. He explained everything well and his English is really good. He picked us from our hotel and was polite during the entire ride. The location we went diving was great too. We were 4 people in our group so the instructor divided us in couples. We were waiting at the beach while the other couple was diving, so I strongly recommend to take your snorkeling equipment to explore the sea by yourself while waiting.”
