Our day trip diving around Aegina Island in the Saronic Gulf offers excellent diving, close to Athens. A charming, easygoing, and popular destination, the diving around Aegina is superb. There is a triangle of wreck, volcanic and rocky dive sites between the mainland, rocky islets, and this verdant island. The top dive here is AVANTIS III, a sunken cargo ship, good for all recreational and technical diving levels. She crashed into the Doroussa islet in 2004 and is in excellent condition.
