The best diving in Europe
When you think of Europe, diving is not the first thing that probably comes to mind. Most people associate Europe with majestic landscapes, historical architecture, and charming small villages. However, this small continent also surprises with a fantastic seascape and underwater beauty. From sunken battleships and exciting shark encounters to floating between two continents, Europe is very diverse and offers world-class diving for every interest and ability.

Discover the world’s most fascinating aquatic life
Aquatic life under our oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams is amazing! From microscopic zooplankton to the largest animal on earth, the blue whale, underwater life comes in all possible shapes and sizes. With 71% of the earth being covered with water, it is no wonder we are so fascinated with what lies beneath the surface. In fact, scientists estimate that there are nearly 1 million different species of aquatic animals. Freshwater ecosystems are home mainly to fish, invertebrates, and reptiles, whereas the ocean contains a wide array of marine life including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, reptiles, sharks, and marine mammals like whales, dolphins, seals, and manatees.
