What the day feels like
What the Five-Day Dive Week Feels Like
Each day is an active, eight-hour cycle: arrive at the dive center, get kitted up and briefed, make a 45–60 minute first dive, pause for a taverna lunch on the beach, then return for a second dive before washing gear and reviewing photos. The rhythm—two dives, a midday break and gentle surface conditions—keeps the focus on exploring the varied underwater topography.
