New Dive

Tucked into the heart of the Greek island of Ios in the Cyclades, New Dive is part of a small, family-run water sports business that has been welcoming visitors for almost 20 years. Set right on the main beach of Mylopotas, this PADI 5 Star Dive Resort opens for the summer season — typically April or May through September — and pairs easygoing island warmth with genuine professionalism.

Courses and diving for every level

The centre offers a full range of PADI courses, from first-timers to Divemaster. Newcomers can ease in with the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, around three hours and starting from USD 77, while the PADI Open Water Diver course runs roughly four days. Guided dives stay intimate, usually just 2–4 divers at a time, and every outing is led by PADI certified Instructors and Divemasters.

With its own dive boat, the team reaches local sites quickly, including the Ios Shipwreck and the Mylopotas shore reef, with trips toward the island of Sikinos newly possible. Onsite training pool, classroom, and English, Spanish, and Greek spoken — it suits beginners and certified divers alike.
