PAROS ELITE
Premium Boat Diving for Certified Divers
- PADI 5 Star Dive Center
What to Expect
Two Dives. One Premium Day at Sea. Meet at Paros Elite Dive Center at 09:00. Equipment fitting and checks take place the same morning, from 09:00 to 10:00, together with the required forms, certification verification and pre-departure preparation. At 10:00, we depart aboard our spacious 11 m Ocean Cruiser. The dive briefing takes place onboard after departure, before the dive — not at the Dive Center. Our standard two-dive boat trip lasts approximately four hours, with return around 14:00. After the first dive, we enjoy a relaxed surface interval on board, with fresh fruit and drinking water always available. We then continue to a second location for another dive, offering two different underwater experiences in a single trip. Dive sites are selected according to certification, experience, recent diving activity, diver suitability, group composition and sea conditions. Wreck dives are conducted only in windless conditions. Rather than following a fixed itinerary, we plan the day around the divers and the appropriate sites. Two dives • Two tanks • Two destinations • One complete experience11 m Ocean Cruiser
Space to gear up properly. Stability between dive sites. A spacious working deck, easy water access and room for divers and equipment make every part of the day more comfortable.
