One of the most spectacular dives on the Dodecanese Islands is the Cave of Seal. Found off of Rhodes Island, divers enter the cave to discover families of seals greet and interact with you. There are many dive shops on the developed islands, especially on the most populated island of Rhodes. Many sites on the island are good for beginners, training and fun dives. There are wrecks, too. The Plimmiri is found in shallow water, and is a superb spot to get your wreck diving certification.
Kos Island also has some amazing dive sites, with incredible rock formations and sea life. The best of them are located on the south-west side of the island, such as Kastri, 3-Rocks and Krikelos.
Nisyros is an active volcano island that offers unique dives of geological interest and abundance of marine life.
The Dodecanese are a group of 15 large islands in the southeastern Aegean Sea and Eastern Mediterranean. These islands are welcomed with hot, dry summers with sea temperatures ranging from 22-27°C, to a cooler 15-18°C in the winter meaning scuba diving in Greece can be enjoyed year round.
A 3/5mm wetsuit is recommended in the summer and 5/7mm wetsuit in the winter months.
The best season can be considered May to December when the sea is the warmest and the marine life more diverse.
