The Greek region of Chalkidiki (also called Halkidiki) is known for its 3 peninsulas, gulfs, and proximity to the Aegean Sea. Chalkidiki's Mediterranean forests, olive trees, and sun-kissed beaches are world-renowned. Its clear blue waters make it especially ideal for scuba diving and snorkelling, allowing greater visibility of the captivating underwater world and its incredible creatures.
This 3-4 hour beginner scuba diving course takes place on the beautiful Kassandra peninsula. After being picked up at your accommodations or meeting the instructor on location, the fun starts! Once you've arrived at the dive site, you'll receive a brief but comprehensive safety and technique briefing from your certified PADI instructor. A maximum number of 4 participants allows for more personalized training at your own pace.
With your scuba diving gear on, you'll head into the shallows with your instructor to practice essential diving skills. When everyone in the small group has grasped the basics, you'll head off on an unforgettable and safe guided underwater journey with your instructor. Because the water has no currents or dangerous species, you'll feel at ease and enjoy a relaxing and weightless experience! Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled, the Mediterranean Sea is graced with a variety of fish, as well as octopuses, sea anemones, starfish, moray eels, sea slugs, etc.
When visiting Chalkidiki, a stop on the Kassandra peninsula is a must! This family-friendly, beginner scuba diving excursion might possibly be one of the best ways to discover this region.

In addition, all participants must already know how to swim in order to participate in this activity.
