Marathon Divers Club

Founded in 1988 and based in Marathon on Greece's Evian Gulf, Marathon Divers Club is a PADI Dive Center that has spent decades introducing divers to the waters of the southern Gulf of Evia. Its theoretical courses are run from headquarters in Nea Makri, while every in-water session takes place at carefully chosen local sites. With three PADI instructors on the team, teaching is delivered in English, French and Greek.
