Yes, Kefallonia does not offer good diving! Although there is a great submarine wreck nearby HMS Perseus (see
www.navy.gr).....I'm not sure how you would set about getting permission to dive on it.
Paros followed by Zakynthos are to be recommended.....I posted some inferior photos in a YD album of Paros....if you want more info PM me. Crete is quite good too.
There is not too much diving around Greece due to the restrictions placed by the authorities...the situation with the law has become a bit confused but essentially you cannot dive anywhere at all except at sites which have been approved by the Ministry of Culture...the coast guard there are not a friendly bunch.....more likely than not they would confiscate your gear if they suspected that you had been diving "illegally".
I thought I saw a centre on Samos on the 'net....haven't dived there.
