The underwater world of Folegandros hides enchanting images. Caves, reefs, walls and the crystal clear water of the Mediterranean Sea compose a magnificent diving destination.
Scuba diving is defined as the ability to dive equipped with an autonomous diving device. The difference from free diving, where the diver dives without any diving breathing equipment on.
Free diving is such an ancient activity, as humanity itself. The free diving is the most natural and simple method to visit the underwater world. The diver submerged with apnea is holding his breath.
For those of you who have limited but valuable time, a short program that will get you your first certificate as a diver. Certified PADI scuba divers will be able to dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters.
