Scuba Turtles

Diving with Scuba Turtles

Scuba Turtles is a PADI Dive Center in Gargalianoi, Greece, run by a young, passionate and dynamic team who keep things professional but easy-going. Their enthusiasm is for the diving itself — the beauty of the Navarino Sea and Proti Island, and the crystal-clear water that makes diving and snorkelling in Messinia such a distinctive experience.

Beneath the surface you may meet colourful fish, octopuses and even sea turtles. The centre's dive sites include Vromoneri Reef, Voidokilia, Skalakia, Katoulia's Canyon, Blue Hole and Grammeno, reached from a waterfront base that also has a house reef and a dive boat.

Courses run from first breaths to specialities: PADI Discover Scuba Diving, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, PADI Dry Suit Diver, PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy, PADI Night Diver and PADI EFR - Emergency First Response, plus a half-day dive trip. With three PADI Instructors and English, Spanish and Greek spoken, it suits divers of all levels — and there's an onsite classroom, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop and parking.
