Afternoon Desha, you are lucky. In Greece it is allowed to dive almost everywhere,Till 2008 it was forbidden to dive on old wracks and historical sides.
Use good boots with a hard tread, many black sea urgins with very long pins.Never did any diving at turkey,till recently they still fished with dynamite, so no big fishes.In Marmaris there is a breadingground for turttles. Have a nice holiday and make a lot of great pictures.

Hi, Desha.

When I was in Athens, I went diving with the Aegean Dive Center in Glyfada, south of Athens. Their website is:

I do not know the new owners. I went there back in 2006. It is a nice facility with nitrox, and they take you to various dive spots along the Saronic Coast close to Athens. There is a site where ancient shipwrecks spilled their cargoes into the sea bed, and the pottery jars have cemented into the coraline reef. Definitely worth seeing, and probably several thousand years old.

The waters there are fairly clear, and the reef is rocky. Water temps are were around 75F in September, so for me a 3mm full body wetsuit and a hood were what I used. You also need booties with good tread, because at some of the sites you must walk down rocky trails to the waters' edge. Other sites are sandy and easy.

I hope you have a great "classical trip" !
