Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Rhodes does not have a Bonaire-style universal diver tag. Budget instead for accommodation climate-resilience fees, attraction tickets, operator dive fees, and any special guided route or Marine Park product. Greek underwater antiquities rules are strict, so access to protected archaeological areas is controlled through authorized routes and guides rather than a casual permit bought by individual divers.
