Absolutely worth the money! The staff was friendly, personable and very knowledgeable about diving. Casper and Analisa made all our first time diving amazing. Definitely do the transportation through them. It’s was very reasonable and Konstantinos ensures pick up and drop off especially for cruise ship passengers.

Dreams Fulfilled Underwater

Matt_M, Aug 2025

We had such an incredible experience scuba diving! Our instructor, Annalisa, was an absolute delight and truly made the day so special. She was patient, supportive, and made both Aaron and me feel completely comfortable throughout the dive. Besides Annalisa, the entire staff was amazing, professional, friendly, and reassuring. Everything felt very safe, the equipment was top notch, and the dive site was absolutely breathtaking with an abundance of fish and so many beautiful things to see. This was something I have dreamed about doing ever since I was a kid, and it exceeded all of my expectations, and my expectations were high. Thanks to Annalisa and the whole team, I now feel inspired and confident that scuba diving is something I will continue to do. Huge shoutout to Annalisa for making it such a memorable and successful experience!

A great couple’s experience

Tobias was a wonderful guide and gave great explanation about the equipment and expectations. He was also very patient with my partner while she was getting acclimated to the equipment. He literally held her hand through the entire process. Without his guidance and calming tone, I don’t think we would have passed the beach.

Fun

Excellent First Dive!

Daman_O, Aug 2024

I had a great time! I saw some other reviews complain about the depth you get to go on this beginner's dive. My trainer told me they don't go deeper than 6m, and I only went to 5m, because it took me a little while to get comfortable with the equipment and the water temperature. That was totally fine with me. My trainer was very kind, patient, and encouraging. I ended up being on a solo dive because no one else signed up, so I got excellent one-on-one attention. There wasn't a ton to see on this dive, so set your expectations accordingly, but I still thought it was really cool to swim along the ocean floor and get comfortable with the diving equipment and process, which is the primary purpose of this experience.

Super first scuba diving experience

Yanis_K, Aug 2024

It was my first scuba diving activity. The team was very welcoming, and the instructor was just AMAZING! Professional, pedagogical, cheerful, and with a sense of humor. I had a 20-minute safety briefing before starting the activity, and I practiced with the instructor at the seashore before diving. During the scuba diving activity, the instructor was always checking if everything was okay and took several memorable pictures of me diving with some fish swimming. Thank you GoDive Team !!

Excellent Diving Experience!!

Troy_L, Jun 2024

The location was easy to find, and everyone was very friendly and 100% professional! Safety is their top priority. It was my 1st time diving in over 10 years. The instructor took his time and explained everything very carefully, the lesson was interactive and not just read from a script. I was 100% comfortable entering the water with the instructor. The dive from the beach was amazing. The water was crystal clear, and we saw all sorts of marine life and my instructor took a lot of great photos while we were diving and sent them to me the very next day. It was a great dive, and I can't wait to go again.

Visenta_V, Sep 2023

It was the very first time for my daughter & I, my husband was the only one in our group with previous experience. Our instructor, Alex, delivered clear & concise instructions. She was continually checking on everyone (we were a small group of 5). It was an amazing experience, definitely the highlight of our trip to Mykonos!

Great diving experience!

Sydney_H, Jul 2023

So impressed with this! Konstantinos runs a fantastic operation with dive masters that know exactly what they are doing and where to take you. We originally signed up for one dive, and I am so glad we did a second dive! Lia beach was our first dive and our dive master found a baby octopus! Our second dive was further out and we got to scuba with mountains under the sea. The visibility was crystal clear, the dive masters knew exactly where to take us, and the entire experience was worth every minute. Plus they take a TON of photos that are so good!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Great beginner dive in gorgeous water

Aaron_S, Jun 2023

My husband and I are both certified divers, but our kids had never been. This was a fantastic beginner lesson with a quick over-view of how it works and then out to the water in a fairly shallow and low risk environment. The dive master was kind and very attentive. I was nervous at first with the kids going but everything went very smoothly. Another person in our small group was struggling and a different dive master had some 1x1 time with her and it all worked out. Highly recommend. Gorgeous clear water. The pictures they take and send later were fantastic too.

Definitely do it

Whitney_L, May 2023

Honestly amazing! I had an amazing guide. Me and my sister understood very quickly while my mom needed more one on one intervention and the guide was extremely patient with her even though she was kind of trippin out. She thought about quitting but the guide was thoughtful and encouraging. Mom got it together and we had a wonderful dive! We saw lots of fish and marine life. My tank ran out of air or malfunctioned while I was swimming and even them they helped me out with the quickness and I wasn't even scared. Good experience all around

Kostas and his team were absolutely amazing! We were a family of four visiting and we had never been scuba diving. We arrived in Mykonos on a cruise around Election Day. Most things were shut down but Kostas was able to change things around not only to accommodate us but made it an amazing experience. It was a fantastic day and one of our favorite excursions of the entire trip.
