What To Expect
Departing from Kos at approximately 09:00, this half-day family-run boat trip takes you to Pserimos Island for a guided introduction to scuba diving. Return to Kos in the afternoon. Scuba diving is often highlighted by guests as one of the most memorable parts of their holiday in Kos. Upon boarding, guests receive a safety and equipment briefing covering breathing techniques, diving procedures, and essential instructions for beginners. Guests are divided into small groups of 4–5 participants, each supervised by 2 certified PADI instructors for safety and personal attention. The dive takes place in a calm, sheltered bay with shallow waters reaching a maximum depth of 5 meters, ideal for beginners, with excellent visibility for a safe underwater experience. The first dive lasts around 20–25 minutes and is fully guided. After the dive, guests return to the boat and enjoy a relaxing break. The boat remains anchored in an uncrowded location, allowing time to swim, snorkel, or relax on the sun deck. A second dive is available for guests who wish to continue diving, while others may relax on board and enjoy the sea. The boat returns to Kos at 14:30 after an unforgettable experience.
