Holiday in Zakynthos

The island of Zakynthos has a stunning coastline. The north coast in particular is exceptionally beautiful and characterised by steep cliffs, dramatic rock formations, bright blue sea caves and crystal clear waters with snow-white pebble beaches.

The Ionian Sea around Zakynthos is one of the best dive sites in Europe with a wide range of stunning topography, breathtaking walls, jumps, overhangs, caves, grottos and wrecks. The rich and varied marine life of Zakynthos includes octopus, barracuda, moray eels, large sea bass, tuna, giant turtles (Caretta Caretta), crayfish, lobsters, bream, bluefish, dolphins, seahorses, amberjack, parrotfish, and if you're lucky you may even encounter the endangered Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus Monachus).

The average surface temperature of the water is around 27°C. Due to the crystal clear water, visibility is 20-40 metres and conditions are ideal for underwater video and photography. And on land, Zakynthos is blessed with some of the most hours of sunshine in the Mediterranean.

Your instructors Dimitris (IANDT/CMAS) and Andreas are local legends on the island. They love to show all experienced divers the amazing underwater paradise they call home. They will welcome you with open arms at their beach bar. They live and breathe diving, they like to keep it simple, small and sweet, it's all about their devotion, love and passion for the sea.

Your dive will be discussed on arrival and your diving experience will start with safety first and an introductory dive.

The standard package consists of 3 days of diving and we endeavour to dive twice a day. Bottom time is around 55 minutes with a depth of up to 18 metres unless you have an advanced certificate. All dives are done in small groups of max. 4 other dive buddies. Dive sites are reached from the shore. For enthusiastic and experienced divers, and if time and weather permits, extra dives can be booked as there are so many places to discover, such as wrecks, caves, caves, drop offs or out at sea by boat. Dimitri also loves to dive at night, it's truly an amazing experience.
