Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited here recently with my younger brother who was trying scuba diving for the first time. As a dive instructor myself I have high standards of what to expect, though from my first communications with Savvas he answered all of my questions politely.
While the price is higher than you might find elsewhere, in scuba diving you get what you pay for and this was a memorable experience not just for my brother but myself also. Nothing was too much trouble all day. From offering to pick us up from our hotel, taking pictures and promptly sharing them, communication on the boat and willingness to talk and share experiences and stories - it truly was an excellent day.
The equipment is of good quality. The rest of the staff friendly and attentive with special mention to Kostas. The boat was impressive.
Really worth to mention was the general quality of the experience on offer. I've dived professionally around the world, and I can honestly say the experience on offer is truly unique. To learn about aquaculture from somebody so passionate is really a privilege, and to see the giant yellowfin tuna is really a special sight. On two dives to be able to see two different wrecks and finish around the nets of the farm is phenomenal and it's fantastic to understand that the presence of the tuna in this area is only because of the protection offered by Savvas' hard work as sadly without it the amount of predators in the area would be similar to that elsewhere in the Mediterranean where it's unfortunately lacking.
What a fantastic culmination of a life long project, thank you Savvas for a most memorable time.

This was the highlight of our trip to Rhodes Island! We really enjoyed the scuba diving and snorkelling experience and felt completely safe and satisfied with the service provided. The team at Blutopia went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met and this included our transportation to and from our hotel as well as providing us with refreshments.
Would definitely recommend Blutopia to anyone and everyone - even as beginners who were quite nervous, we had an amazing time and made once in a lifetime memories!

My partner and I were fortunate to spend a whole day with Savvas and Stratos, and it's difficult to put into words how special the experience was. The genuine care, passion and personal attention shown affects you emotionally because it's like nothing we've experienced on similar excursions elsewhere around the world. Firstly, you enjoy the education, courtesy of Savvas's deep knowledge of marine biology then you delight in swimming and diving in the beautiful waters of Rhodes then you realise you haven't stopped smiling and laughing since you were picked up from the hotel and the hospitality continued through an extensive late lunch on the charming island of Halki. My partner still can't stop looking at the photos of him free diving through the stock of sea bream - a once in a lifetime experience - thank you Savvas!

We spent an amazing day with our teenagers on Savvas’ speedboat. He took us to great paces, we could swim with sea brasse, snorkel, dive and our daughters could even drive his boat. The highlight for our girls was to see dolphins following our boat. An amazing lunch was offered in Halki. We also got snacks before diving. A super day!

Diving in Marine Mark was one of the best dives of my life. I was so lucky! There was a family of dolphins and lots of big tuna swiming with us during the whole dive. Kostas Tountas led amazing deep dive and later "dolphin dive". He knew how to organise whole dive to take the best out of it. We dived, snorkelled and chilled on the boat. All was safe and well - prepared. I will come back definately.

I spent a great day diving with Blutopia !
All equipment and the boat were new.
We went in 2 wrecks, saw all the fish farms and huge tunas. The water was super clear.
The guide, Kostas Tountas, was simply amazing, very calm, experienced and funny.
Next time I visit Rhodes, I'll come again to dive with them ;o)

Amazing experience to swim with 15’000 fishes on the fish farm and snorkel at the riff afterwards. We saw a turtle, dolphins, a seal, thousands of fishes and tunas!
Tassos and Cristos were outstanding great guides. They explained everything and you feel how passionated and caring they are about animal life and the farm.
They looked very well after us and we got a lot of pictures and videos right on spot. Drinks and tasty sandwiches were included as well. Value for money is great and next time we will do a Scuba dive experience with them because you can trust them 💯

We had a wonderful few hours on this boat. We wanted something different and didn’t want to be rammed on a boat for hours in the scorching sun. This ticked the boxes for us. The boat was not full so this helped. We paid 15€ each to be collected from ixia. This was a bit frustrating as collection was nearly 40 mins late with no call or anything and we were a bit annoyed but everything after that was superb.
Yes it’s a fish farm and I have some reservations about that whole concept but the rationale was clearly explained to us and the protected ecosystem of the site was fascinating. We didn’t dive but did swim with 2 tonnes of sea bream and that’s memorable in itself. We saw and fed some gigantic tuna and found starfish on the nearby rocks. No dolphins and we were told they see them every few days - not the 90% of the time they use in their marketing. So that’s a bit misleading.
We had a fantastic few hours. Yes it was probably 20€ more expensive than it should have been but we had a fab, unique time and made some wonderful memories.

Amazing experience that we haven't before! We had two beautiful dives, we saw the wreck and big tuna.
Friendly team, good equipment, Greek snacks, cold water during our trip!
Thanks our instructor Kostas Tountas for amazing dives, Savvas for opportunity to snorkel with 50.000 sea fish in a fish farm.
Many thanks to Bluetopia team!

Such a lovely experience! Our guide Celine was so lovely and really knowledgeable. We didn't have luck regarding the fish as the weather was very choppy, but they went out of their way to make our experience a great one and we had such a lovely time seeing the dolphins. Would recommend to anyone :)
