    Our Dive Instructor Dmitris is professional, courteous, patient, very generous, and knowledgeable of the terrain and village of Marathons and Nea Makris. He took my wife and I on shoredive (s), showed us wildlife and will email us gopro videos from our dives. The Kanelakis Dive shop is very well decorated and well equipped with clean and efficient dive gear. Cressi bcd, regulators, and wetsuits. We came from Attika region of Greek which was 45 minutes away. Due to traffic and delayed transportation time, Dmitris was kind enough to let us stay in his shop while offering us water and snacks to keep us sustained.

    Great instruction, experience, and value!

    Dimitris was very helpful and knowledgeable. For context, I haven't dived for a few years and have a relatively unused advanced open water cert. Dimitris was great at helping me refresh my knowledge and theoretical foundation. He provided all the equipment we needed, as well as transportation between the Nea Makri bus station, dive shop, and dive site. Despite conditions being somewhat adverse, he used his knowledge of local topography to find a launch point for our shore dive that was sheltered from wind and waves, and we had a terrific time. We were able to see a decent variety of sea life during both of our dives, and I had a great time relearning buoyancy control, technical aspects of the equipment, and how to swim with fins. I had decent oxygen conservation (obviously his is much better), and to his credit Dimitris didn't end the dive early to meet a timetable. He instead continued guiding me until my air reached the threshold we'd agreed on before starting our return. Dimitris' dives are priced *very* affordably, and I thoroughly recommend the experience. I'd like to do a deep dive off a boat with him if I'm in Athens again. Compared to other diving options in Athens, the only potentially dissuading factor is getting to Dimitris' dive shop from Athens. It's quite easy, however. You catch the metro to Nomismatokopia (~10 minutes from Acropolis), and from there you catch the KTEL bus to Nea Makri (~45 minutes with traffic). In total, the one-way trip costs ~$4.50.

    First time diving in Greece

    Although we booked a two-tank boat dive, the weather had other plans. The dive team made sure that we didn’t leave empty handed and quickly adjust our boat dives to a shore dive, which we were very happy with. Even though it was just the two of us, our dive leader was very patient and made sure we saw the unique terrain. It was awesome!!

    Schöner Ersatz

    Leider musste der Bootsausflug wegen unsicherem Wetter abgesagt werden. Trotzdem konnte wenigstens ein Tauchgang in einer geschützten Bucht dirchgeführt werden. Vielen Dank an Dimitrios für die Flexibilität!
