Greece

Hi list,

Any idea on where to dive in Greece with a rebreather ? Air or Trimix diluant.

I will go by car and will be fully equipped.

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris, will you carry your own sorb? Where exactly do you plan to go in Greece and when?

I am sorry to say there is v.little support for RBs and most dive centers do not welcome CCR divers. You may be able to work something out with a dive center in Kythnos island.

Give me some more details and I may be able to help you out. I am happy to do that on list or via PMs.

Cheers,
George

They should be able to put you in touch with the proper people.. The RHQ director also owns a meg..

There is indeed very little support for CCR divers in Greece. It would be better since you 'll travel by car to bring your own sorb (and a full o2 tank would be wise). I wouldn't count too much on ANDI Greece since they 'll just give you a list of their affiliates. Wherever you go make sure you call and have a chat with them first

Takis should be able to tell you who has o2 and sorb.. He might limit it to ANDI facilities (if they are where you are going) but he is not going to give you a blanket list of shops that might or might not be able to help you, but he should be able to narrow it down to who he knows has support..

Remember Takis is one of the auditors for certifying dive shops for licensing, so he deals with non ANDI shops as well..

If everything else fails I can offer a O2/He fill and (2-5mm) Soda in exchange with a (good) bottle of French wine...

i would agree with the rest of the guys that Rebreather support over here is quite limited (to say the least)...

Cobby · 10th July 2007, 09:59

No problem for the good bottle of wine. Is there something interesting do dive near Athens ?
As we have a free planning I can stay longer near Arthen to dive

At first I wanted to dive the Britannic but it seems impossible to organize.

Thanks ,
Chris

Unfortunately i can only give advice about caves in Greece – I don’t dive in the sea, its to dangerous (you know sea monsters, rough seas etc ...)
GKAM is the right guy if you are interested in wrecks, and there are some near Athens but you need a boat to dive, PM GKAM for advice..

Hi there!
Our dive center is one (maybe the only) rebreather friendly. We are located on Kythnos Island, close to Athens and easy to get there from Piraeus or Lavrion port. We can offer you O2 fills and scrubber. We are organizing dive trips every day until the end of October.
Our island is very beautiful and offers fantastic diving.
If you need some more information contact me.

Cobby · 10th July 2007, 17:25

Hi,

Thanks for your information. Can you tell me the name of the dive center and where it is located on the island ?
It seems that there is wreck diving around the island. Can you tell me more?
Is it possible to find a camping or something to rent on the island ?

Thanks for your help.

Chris.
