🇬🇷 Greece

Greece is a major Mediterranean scuba destination, with diving based around the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Islands, and the waters around Crete. Most diving is in salt water, typically over rocky reefs, coastal walls, and offshore drops, with lots of sheltered bays for calmer conditions. Water temperatures are generally mild to warm in the peak season, while visibility can be good when winds are light; in open areas, currents may increase along channels and deeper slopes. Depending on the region, divers can find a mix of natural sites (rock formations, small caverns, and wrecks near ports) and island-hopping itineraries, from day trips by boat to longer multi-day routes. Even if conditions vary between islands and seasons, Greece is often a practical pick for divers who want a wide range of coastal and island diving across the Mediterranean.
