Diversity Diving Center

Set within the Acrotel Athena Pallas 5-star hotel in Sithonia, Halkidiki, Diversity Diving Center is a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center that welcomes everyone — not just hotel guests. Visitors from outside can join all activities and enjoy the hotel's facilities during their experience, with pick-up services available from many areas around Sithonia.

Training led by an elite team

The center is guided by a PADI Platinum Course Director — the highest professional ranking in PADI — alongside a professional underwater archaeologist with a strong background in scientific diving. Together they run guided snorkeling tours, introductory dives for beginners, and every level of PADI certification from entry-level through Instructor Development Courses.

Courses span the PADI Scuba Diver Course, Enriched Air (Nitrox), Emergency First Response, Open Water Referral training, and the ReActivate refresher, with an amazing local dive at Kalogria from USD 72. Facilities include an onsite training pool and classroom, an Adaptive Services Facility, retail shop, free Wi-Fi, a house reef, and a waterfront location — ideal whether you're exploring the sea for the first time or advancing a dive career in the clear waters of Halkidiki.
