Athens Scuba has successfully completed another group trip to the Florida Springs.

We had a total of 12 divers, some for fun diving, some for Open Water check out dives and some to start their Advanced courses.

We all arrived Friday evening and stayed until Sunday around noon. This trip was the first time we stayed at the cabins at the Blue Grotto Dive Resort.

The cabins are simple but clean and air conditioned. We occupied almost all of their cabin, brought a grill and had a great time spending time together.

After the Saturday morning dive at Blue Grotto and the afternoon dive at the Rainbow River we did a night dive at Blue Grotto, which marked for many of the divers the beginning of their PADI Advanced Open Water diver course.

Sunday morning we did our last dive at Devils Den, which was great, as always. On all our dives we beat the crowds and had the dive sites mostly to ourselves and we were able to make our way back to Athens around 11:00am.

Athens Scuba is excited to announce that we set up our first dive group trip. From November 28th to December 5th we are going to St Croix in the US Virgin Island. 

This will be a fun and relaxed getaway that is great for newly certified divers and experienced divers alike!

St Croix is an uncrowded and beautiful island, that offers great reef- and wall diving, from shore and from boat. It is US territory, so no passport is needed and travel restrictions for COVID are easier to manage than many foreign countries.

The trip includes accommodations at Holger Danske Hotel, diving and rental cars (cars will be provided on a shared basis with designated drivers).

The hotel is conveniently located for diving, dining and a great time while being on your dive trip. There is an on-property restaurant and lots of other options around. The hotel has different room options.

We included the standard room. You have the choice between the one (King or Queen), or two bed (double) setup.

We can also accommodate checkout dives, refresher courses, and some specialty courses on this trip, please inquire separately for any course options.

Everyone at Athens Scuba is very excited to go on our first dive trip with a group and we can’t wait to introduce you to the fantastic underwater world surrounding St Croix.
