The Aegean slips cool against your calves as you stand on a narrow strip of sand; wind tugs at your mask strap and the reef ahead seems to breathe beneath a glassy surface. On a Discover Scuba Diving session in Mykonos you trade the sunbaked shore for the hush of underwater life—starfish clinging to rock, sponges swaying, and an octopus slipping into a crevice as you approach.

Bring a swim towel and dry clothes
