Hi,

I am going on a two-week vacation in September in either Greece or Spain. Have anyone been diving in either of these two countries? Which would you recommend?

As I browsed through the information on the Internet, it seems that there is no liveaboard dive trips in Greece or Spain. Is that so?

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks,
the_cat_keeper

I dove in Greece and in Spain (where I was born), and I just can say one thinK: no doubt, Spain.
If you go to the east coast you will find a lot of interesting places and professional people working. Good ships, equipment for rent and a really good enviorement.
If you want, I can send you some interesting addreses for diving in Spain.

I read somewhere (probably here) that the diving in Greece was resticted to certain areas. This is to protect the antiquities down there.

If you can find any ancient sites to dive then it is well worth it. I dived the remains of Cleopatra's palace in and around Alexandria harbour and that was pretty impressive. I'm sure there is similar stuff in Greece. I have heard good things about the east coast of spain too.

Done some diving in Spain and Creete. In my opinion Creete was nicer, the visibility nothing but unbelieveble. Also if you`re interested in WW2, there`s a lot cool stuff to see uw...
