Today I conquered my fear of scuba diving. Never in a million years did I think I would be able to comfortably breathe underwater and feel as safe as I did! Ren and Costas were our scuba instructors and we started the day of getting fitted and receiving some verbal training. Watching these guys set up gave me a lot of confidence as I saw how professional they were checking the equipment and ensuring we were all set. A short boat ride away and we were in the water learning and putting our skills to action in shallow water before we ventured out. What an incredible experience! I got to live out my mermaid dreams underwater and felt so safe. The water was so clear and the marine life was beautiful. Would absolutely recommend this experience for any first timers as well as experienced divers! Thanks for an amazing day we will never forget! Will be back in the future.

The instructor was next to me the entire time, making me feel really secure (I was the only one diving for this activity that day). I was a bit afraid as I’m not really confident in my swimming skills, but they reassured me that you don’t necessarily need to know how to swim to dive, as the wetsuit will help me float. Every time I felt pressure in my ears I let my instructor know and we went up a bit to equalize my ears. We saw a bunch of small fishes and an octopus! I would totally recommend this activity for anyone visiting Paros! It’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

Incredible day out on the water with Nicholas behind the wheel and Sildi with top notch service and attention to detail!! Food was delicious, we had a lot of control over where we went and how long we stayed at places. The two crew had great recommendations on locations to visit in line with the wind direction on the day. Could not fault - would highly recommend.

As a beginner, it was very easy to get started. Sophia showed us really nice places to kayak and snorkel. The snacks and lunch were also very tasty. I especially liked the cinnamon biscuits.

This was an amazing day! The hostesses were absolutely flawless. Unbelievable food and a perfect boating itinerary for swimming and snorkeling. I would recommend this cruise to anyone.
