Greece's Cyclades Islands by yacht with Albatross

The unique beauty, history, cultural, and archeological attractions of Greece offer scuba divers a dive trip that is unequaled anywhere in the world. Albatross offers a spectacular opportunity to explore wrecks of all types, marine life, caves, canyons, and much more. More wrecks are being discovered each year and this benefits both divers and archeologists. Dive centers at many islands are exploring their island perimeters and expanding the variety of dive sites opened to divers.

On the seabed of Greek waters, you will find a fantastic array of colors, marine life, reefs, caves, canyons with sheer cliff drops, and night dives that excite even the most experienced diver. Rock formations give shelter to octopus moray eel, grouper and giant shells, scorpion fish, starfish. You will dive in caverns, canyons and swim throughs, covered with colorful sponges, corals and small holes which are home to crabs and lobsters. Schools of small colorful fish swim around the rocks while tunas, turtles, jack fish, stingrays and dolphins make their appearance often from the distant blue.

The yachts are from 51 ft to 85 ft and accommodate for 8 to 16 divers.
