Scuba Diving in the Saronics

• 
  From €100

Ready to swap the sundeck for the seabed? Just off the coast of Agistri, the Saronic Gulf turns from deep blue to glass-clear turquoise — some of the most transparent water in Greece, and the ultimate playground for anyone itching to explore below the surface. We recommend Interdive, Agistri's go-to PADI scuba crew, so you can go from the yacht straight into an underwater world of hidden sealife, curious fish and one seriously atmospheric shipwreck for advanced divers. Whether it's your first breath underwater or your fiftieth dive, this is the MedSailors add-on that turns an experience into summer lore.

Where is the best place to scuba dive in the Saronic Islands?

Agistri. Hands down. Tucked away in the Saronic Gulf, this pine-covered island is one of Greece's best-kept diving secrets — sheltered bays, minimal boat traffic and water so clear you can often see the seabed from the surface. Interdive runs its dives straight from Agistri, meaning no long transfers, just a short hop from your MedSailors boat into some of the cleanest water in the Aegean.

Is scuba diving in Greece good for beginners?

Absolutely — and Agistri is one of the friendliest spots to start. The bays here are shallow, current-free and packed with marine life, making them ideal for first-timers or anyone diving without a certification. Interdive's instructors run beginner-friendly introductory dives that ease you in gently, so you'll be spotting fish, sea sponges and hidden underwater rock formations within your first hour in the water — no experience required.

What can advanced divers see scuba diving in the Saronic Islands?

If you're already certified, Agistri has a headline attraction: a genuine shipwreck resting on the seabed, now claimed by the Aegean as an eerie, beautiful artificial reef. Expect swim-throughs, shoals of fish weaving through the wreckage, and that unmistakable thrill of exploring a piece of maritime history most divers never get to see. It's the kind of dive that turns into a story you'll be repeating long after the holiday ends.

How much is scuba diving in the Saronic islands?

The offered scuba diving experience starts at €100 for beginners or advanced. We recommend adding on the optional BBQ for €25 served up for you after the dive, including grilled vegetables, meats, and local wine!

Tips for scuba diving in Agistri

• Book ahead — dive slots with Interdive get snapped up fast in peak season.
• Bring (or hire) a swimsuit, towel and reef-safe sunscreen — you'll want it both in and out of the water.
• No certification? No problem — just let the crew know you're a beginner and they'll sort you with an introductory dive.
