When we ordered the tickets through Tui it said that the entire trip would be approximately 4hours, this was including diving and the boat-trip. When we got on the boat the staff informed that we would use around 8hours. This included a 40minutes boat trip each way, followed by 15-20minutes diving each. The rest of the time we spent waiting for the other groups to finish. Way to many people on the boat. And the staff said that usually they have a lot more people. The boat was very uncomfortable to sit on for 8hours, as well as it was not big enough for all the people on it. The staff was very nice, and I felt very safe during the diving. Still it was not worth the time or the money! I lost 8hours of my holiday for 15minutes of diving... if the reservation said how much time we would have in the water, I wouldn’t have ordered the tickets....

Waterhoppers are offering few different diving experiences, I was on the full day one with my boyfriend by the Kalithea springs (~8hours). I have understood they also have halfday excursions leaving from Kolymbia, if shorter day sounds better for you. This was my first time scuba diving, and I really enjoyed the experience! Mike had a very clear briefing on the boat on the way to the diving spot, and he really managed to create nice and relaxed atmosphere around. Me and my boyfriend both did 2 dives, one around 11 o'clock and second around 13 o'clock. I can really recommend to take the second dive, you actually feel much more comfortable under water and can really focus on surroundings more. You also get more out of the experience of being there. I don't know how this diving spot is for experienced diver, but for us as a beginner divers we found it to be a very nice spot, with plenty to see! The water was clear, and the sea was clean from trash. Highly recommend this day for someone looking for experience of scuba diving, it is a long day indeed and a lot of waiting in between, so prepare for it. Bring something to read, sunbath, snorkel etc between the dives. :)

Really friendly and knowledgeable team who look after you as soon as you get in the van at pick up! I was a bit nervous having never dived before but they really keep you calm. Clear instructions and a lot of helpers in the water. Excellent day. And they managed to drop us off near my hotel afterwards saving me an hour boat ride back to Rhodes.

When a diver with over 1000 dives and you just propose a beach dive... Perhaps this center is good for beginners but that's all. Size 6 or more is very old equipment. Regulators were ok, BCD was old but functional (pockets were ko). Last but not least 70€ for a beach dive (equipment included) is too much...

Quite some divingschools in Rhodos but the Waterhoppers are here for over 30 years and know the best spots. Just the best diving school on the Island.
