💡 TourBookGo tip

Before booking, ask whether the second dive is included, which age and swimming requirements apply, and when you should reach the office. Allow for the described return as late as 14:30 without treating that as a guaranteed arrival time.

Equipment is suppliedUse of scuba equipment appears in the formal inclusions. The source does not provide a list of personal items to bring.
A defined group limitThe only format described is shared, with up to 8 travellers. No private alternative is offered.
Head towards the marine parkThe itinerary connects preparation at Naxos Beach with a transfer to Giardini-Naxos and a boat trip towards Isola Bella. Sea conditions determine whether the break beside the island can take place.

📖 From preparation to your first dive

The first dive is listed at 10:00, to a maximum depth of 6 metres. Instruction covers signals, equipment, breathing and equalisation, with basic skills practice at the start. The duration of each dive and transfer is not specified.
