Chios Island

Chios Island is located in the Aegean Sea and it’s one of Greece’s largest islands. It offers a number of fascinating dive sites. The waters contain amazing underwater caves, large reef formations, walls, shipwrecks, and plenty of marine life. Chios offers the perfect conditions for beginner divers because of its calm conditions, good visibility, and moderate temperatures. Tunnies, wrasses, perches, tunas, and sea turtles are regular encounters here.

Crete Island

Crete is famous for its caverns, deep walls with great drop-offs, and reefs with black corals. Spiny lobsters, cuttlefish, crayfish, barracudas, and perch are among the commonly seen fauna here. One of the most popular areas on the island is Chania, on the northwest coast, with its stone arches, volcanic rocky reefs, and abundant marine life.

Marathonisi Island

Marathonisi is an uninhabited island off the coast of Zakynthos. The island and the Bay of Laganas are protected by the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. The region is most famous for being among the main nesting zones for the loggerhead sea turtles. Here, divers get to swim with the turtles and see some of the other local species which include eels, octopi, parrotfish, and flying fish.

Nea Kameni

Nea Kameni is a small uninhabited volcanic island located within the Santorini caldera. There isn’t a lot of marine life in these waters, but the interesting lava formations, rocks, sea caves, and the 34-meter (112 feet) shipwreck lying just 18 meters (59 feet) under the surface of the water compensate for this.
