Great diving with Scuba Turtles
Jul 2024 • Family
We did two dives with Scuba Turtles (two adults, one 13 yr old). The first was a shore dive on the house reef, which was nice and calm, a shallow dive max 9m. Visibility was amazing, approx 30m. We went through channels in the rocks, past and over seagrass and saw lots of sea life in and around the rocks, with the help of our fantastic guide pointing out many creatures such as moray eel, fireworms, hermit crabs. We booked in for a night dive on the same reef which was truly fantastic and very calm. We saw an amazing array of sea life including Octopus, Flying Gurnards, Cuttlefish, Moray Eels, Slipper Lobster, Lionfish…
The team were very friendly and professional and the dives were brilliant, thoroughly recommend!

Small group personal diving experience with a passionate team!
Jun 2024 • Solo
5 star dive center! Experienced and passionate staff, treatment of friends, new material and clean facilities!

The diving experience was ideal, crystal clear waters, very interesting topography and even a beautiful wreck on the island of Proti. The departure was in a small group, which is appreciated and from what I could observe is the usual practice in this center.

Silvia and Andreas, the owners of the center were very helpful in organizing the diving day and their great passion for offering a safe and fun diving experience is appreciated!

Thank you so much! I'm sure I'll rediscover more of Messinia's precious backgrounds!

Exceptional for First-Time Dive Experience
Oct 2024 • Friends
I had a fantastic experience at Scuba Turtles Dive Center in Marathopoli! For a first-time dive, this is the perfect spot to try. The dive center is well-maintained and conveniently located right across the street from the shore. Entry into the water is a simple step down over rocks into the sea, about 2 to 3 meters below the surface, so there’s no sediment kicked up during entry, making for excellent visibility throughout the dive.

Andreias and Sylvia were extremely helpful and accommodating, ensuring you feel comfortable every step of the way. Their expertise and friendly demeanor made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Scuba Turtles for anyone looking to try diving for the first time or seeking a great diving experience in Greece.

Amazing scuba diving
Sep 2024 • Family
We booked a dive for my dad’s birthday. Ended up staying for 2 more dives as it was so fun, including a night dive and Proti Island! Loads of wildlife and things to see. The team there were so kind, friendly, and welcoming. Sylvie, Andreas, and Virginie were all absolutely lovely. Throughout the dives Virginie was showing us animals and pointing things out (and Andreas did the same for the night dive). They answered any questions, ensured we felt safe and comfortable, did a short briefing before each dive so we knew what/where we were headed and just generally made the day amazing. Not to mention we had only booked 1 dive so they were able to fit in 2 more dives for us on the same day! The set up there is of a very high standard and their own reef dive is literally opposite the shop.
What an awesome day. It’s a shame we’re not staying longer as I would’ve loved to do more dives with them - and my advanced open water PADI.

Wow, thank you so much for the amazing review! It’s awesome to hear that we made your dad's birthday day extra special for you. We’re always thrilled to go the extra mile and make sure everyone has a great time. It’s a bummer you’re not staying longer, but hopefully, you’ll get the chance to dive with us again soon—maybe for your Advanced Open Water! Safe travels and happy diving until then!

A brilliant taster session in amazingly clear waters with great staff
Aug 2024 • Family
My wife and 11 and 13 year old children did the discover scuba experience.

Their instructor, Virginie, was very patient and spoke excellent clear English. They had instruction, a quick test on the safety basics, then got kitted up for a very short walk across to some steps down into the most amazingly clear sea where they practiced safety techniques and ascending and descending before heading off on swim tour around the area for about an hour. The water really is as clear as the photos. I can't dive for medical reasons, but snorkelled along watching them. Virginie was very attentive as she led them throughout the dive, watching them, helping them occasionally with buoyancy etc, and pointing out things as they went along.

There's an outside shower by the entrance to the water
