In addition to natural advantages of the surrounding
area of Vouliagmeni, there are three compelling reasons for diving the caverns
of Vouliagmeni Lake
Warm water
Minimum Water temp in the Cavern is a high 25C / 76F all year round so no need for bulky uncomfortable dry suits and short dive times due to discomfort from getting cold.

Great
Visibility
The water is crystal clear with average visibility is in the range of 60m / 200ft so that you can see more of what you expect to see.

Dive all
year round
The conditions in the caverns change very little throughout the year and can be dived all year long so you do not have to worry about planning your cavern diving trip having seasonal limits.

CAVERN
DIVING IS AN AWESOME DIVING EXPERIENCE
Cavern Diving is different from open water diving as
you dive in overhead environment without direct access to the surface during the
dive.
For this reason it is very important that you only
Cavern Dive with a properly certified guide who will give you a thorough pre
dive briefing which will include the procedures and safety rules to ensure that
your dive is both enjoyable and safe.
If you wish to dive in the Caverns of the Vouliagmneni
Lake without a guide then you will first need to complete a Cavern Diver Course
in order to learn all the theory and the skills so to dive safely in this
environment.
If you wish to Cave Dive, you need to take further
training and equipment in order to do it safely and enjoyable.
