Scuba
What It Feels Like
Corfu scuba is about Ionian visibility, limestone architecture, and local boat diving. Paleokastritsa is the headline cluster, with Achilleon Diving Center listing nearby reefs, walls, caverns, and wreck sites, while Ermones and Dassia add quieter training and guided dives. The signature appeal is visual: sunbeams in Hole of Ha, arches at Monastery, sponge-covered walls, octopus in cracks, and Othonoi wreck excursions when weather and schedules align.

Operator Checklist
Book early for July and August, and ask operators whether they are separating Open Water, Advanced, and overhead-capable divers. Bring certification cards, recent logbook proof, and insurance details. Night dives, cave routes, and wreck penetration should only be done with licensed local providers and the correct training. Greece has strict underwater antiquities protections, so do not touch, collect, move, or disturb artifacts, wreck material, shells with living animals, or seagrass.
