Diving holiday in Zakynthos

8 Days / 7 Nights
Easy

The essentials at a glance

Diving holiday on the Greek island of Zakynthos with 7 nights in a cosy hotel and breakfast included. The package includes 6 guided dives over 3 days with all necessary equipment and transport to dive sites. Airport or harbour transfers provided. Optional SSI diving certification course available, which replaces the included dives. Easy difficulty level suitable for divers of various experience levels.

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.

Watch our video from the trip

We sent three of our colleagues to Zakynthos to experience and document our diving holiday.
The video offers a vivid glimpse into the beautiful underwater world, the atmosphere on the island, and the adventures waiting for you beneath the surface.
It’s the perfect way to get a feel for the trip before heading there yourself.

If you arrange your own transportation, we recommend waiting until we have confirmed your booking before making any arrangements.

On this trip you will stay at the cosy 3-star hotel Eleni's Garden or the 2-star Clear Horizon.

Whichever hotel you choose, breakfast is included every day.

Please note: Hotels in Greece often charge for the use of air conditioning.

On this tour breakfast is included every day.

It is possible to obtain a diving certification on this trip. In that case, it will be an SSI Open Water Diver course. You will still have the same number of diving days, but the first days will be used for the certification.

If you wish to obtain a diving certification during the trip, you can add it as an option when booking.

SSI follows the same rules as PADI, meaning you must be at least 15 years old. If you are between 12–14 years old, you can take a Junior course. If, for example, you choose to obtain a diving certification and are between 12–14 years old, the course will automatically be a Junior course.

After booking this trip, you get access to various discount schemes.

We recommend taking out travel insurance that covers at least illness, accident, repatriation, lost holiday, luggage and liability. As a customer, you are responsible for taking out the necessary travel insurance to cover these costs.

Before taking out insurance, you should check whether you are already covered by travel or cancellation insurance through your home insurance company, credit card or similar - please note that there may be differences in insurance coverage.
