Posted on Lauu8615/09/2025 Ragazzi gentilissimi e disponibili. Il relitto è affascinante.Posted on Alex Zacharopoulos14/09/2025 Truly great experience for my daugther's first dive...she was in heaven for 3 days. Her instructor Silvia is a super star made from heaven to teach scuba diving. The whole team is very experienced, professional and likeable too. As a seasoned diver myself, I appreciated the whole system of the diving centre. This diving centre is from people that understand diving safety, they are set in the best situated coastal spot for fun deep dives with so much biodiversity to explore. As a parent to see my kid being so thrilled with diving and to make fun her first dive without fear, is a great gift to us that Scube Turtles team and Silvia gave us!! Awesome time with them too. 5stars all the way.Posted on Theodoros Soupionas12/09/2025 Εξαιρετικο προσωπικο.Πολυ βοηθητικοι για αρχαριους οπως εμεις.Posted on gianlorenzoferrari7407/09/2025 Posted on Michael Huber02/09/2025 Update: I completed my PADI Open Water Diver certification here two years ago, came back last year, and once again this year. What an amazing team at Scuba Turtles Dive Center! Andreas and Silvia share their passion for diving every single moment – whether along the coast or at breathtaking spots reached by boat. A perfect blend of professionalism and joy for life. If you love diving or want to discover it, this is the place to be. Too bad Google only allows 5 stars… otherwise, I’d give as many stars as I can see shining in the Messinian sky after a relaxed evening post-dive. I’ll definitely be back next year! --------- Absolutely fantastic experience at Scuba Turtles Dive Center! Andreas is an exceptional dive instructor, and his team is both experienced and passionate about sharing their love for diving. They take you to the most breathtaking dive spots in the Peloponnese, where you can explore shipwrecks, vibrant marine life, stunning underwater canyons, and even spot sea turtles! Every dive is a unique adventure filled with incredible sights and a lot of fun. The atmosphere is welcoming and the attention to safety is top-notch, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned divers. If you're in the area, visiting Scuba Turtles Dive Center is a must. You won’t just dive; you'll create unforgettable memories with a fantastic team. Highly recommend!  Feedback geben Ähnliche Suchanfragen ÜbersetzenPosted on Agamemnon Christofidis30/08/2025 Great experience. Worth it.Posted on albert harari29/08/2025 Great 2 dives, crew was awesome.Posted on Alexander Sulakvelidze26/08/2025 Dived with Scuba Turtles in Marathopoli, Greece, in August 2025. Absolutely fantastic experience - from the initial communication to make arrangements, all the way through to the final dive. The shop was founded by Andreas and Silvia a few years ago, and both are truly exceptional. I have been diving around the world for over 20 years, and this is easily one of the top 3 dive shops I have ever dived with. Silvia is an absolute delight to deal with - super helpful with everything from reservations to selecting the best equipment. Speaking of which, the shop is outfitted with new, high-end gear, including digital air pressure gauges and late-model BCDs, all in excellent condition. Andreas is equally warm and knowledgeable. He made visiting various dive sites not just safe and fun, but also fascinating, with the stories and insights he shared about each location. We were also joined by Harry, the divemaster from Leicester, who was incredibly kind, professional, and supportive throughout. We dived at the Blue Hole and Katoulia’s Canyon (named after Katoulias, a notorious pirate from Mani; this canyon was where Katoulias hid his ship, making it invisible from the sea and allowing him to ambush unsuspecting vessels) - both stunning sites with steep, dramatic underwater walls and captivating rock formations. If you are staying in the Costa Navarino area and looking for a world-class diving experience, I cannot recommend Scuba Turtles enough. While there are other shops in the region - such as Aqua Divers Club (expensive!), which may be closer to major hotels like the excellent W Hotel (Marriott chain) – it is well worth the short drive to Marathopoli to dive with Scuba Turtles.Posted on Diethmar Gurschler23/08/2025 Sehr schöne Tauchschule bei der die Betreiber und Mitarbeiter ihren Job lieben (und das merkt man). Haben 2 Tauchgänge vom Boot gemacht. Beide 50min lang und verschiedene Spots. Nichts zu beanstanden und klare weiterempfehlung!Posted on S.T. 1718/08/2025 Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 308 reviews
