About this experience

Diving & Snorkeling in Skiathos Town is a guided underwater activity based at the island's main port, offering access to the Aegean Sea's rocky reefs and seagrass meadows. Participants receive certified instruction and rental gear before exploring sites chosen for current and visibility on the day. The activity runs from the town's dive centre, with boat transfers to nearby islets such as Tsougria and Kastronisia.

What to expect

Two-hour boat trip to dive sites around Tsougria or Kastronisia, with two guided dives or one snorkel session depending on certification level.
Full scuba gear, wetsuit, and weights included; snorkellers get mask, fins, and snorkel, with a brief safety orientation on board.
Sightings of groupers, octopus, and painted comber among limestone boulders and Posidonia oceanica beds at depths of 5 to 18 metres.
Suitable for certified divers (PADI/SSI equivalent) and first-timers taking a 30-minute try-dive lesson in shallow water before the boat departs.
Underwater photography service available on request, with images delivered digitally after the trip.
Maximum group size of eight participants per guide, ensuring individual attention during descent and ascent.
