  Completed four dives with the shop, two dives in open water near Kri-Kri island. And then two more at a nearby cave/cavern twenty minutes by boat from Platanias. Staff is professional and informative, answers any questions you may have. Dives by the cave was by far the most exciting one for me (Near Kri-Kri is more of an adventure/animal dive). Cost was 110 euro for two dives, I was given a 10 euro discount for the following two dives by the cave. So the total cost was 220 euro for four dives. So price in my opinion is good. Our tours were lead by instructor Dimitris, he was experienced and knowledgeable about the dives and gear. Also super nice that the operation takes pictures under the dive and Is willing to send the photos by e-mail afterwords. Would recommend.

  Very professional and comforting dive master. It had been 4 years since I dived, but the dive master took me through the ropes, and made me feel both safe and relaxed during 2 dives. I also lost my diving mask, but the company found it again several days later at the bottom, and mailed it to me in Norway at no cost! I can highly recommend FunDive, and it should be your diving Center when visiting Platanias.

  Fantastisk opplevelse, instruktørene var skikkelig proffe. De tok så godt vare på meg/oss. Hold fast i oss hele tiden under vann. Masse flott å se under vann, en opplevelse for livet. Fantastic experience for the first time
