Ouranoupoli - Athos Scuba Diving Center

At the northern tip of Chalkidiki, Athos Scuba is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort set 4 km from Ouranoupoli, Greece, just 30 metres from the turquoise sea of the Athos Peninsula — a coastline UNESCO has recognised for its special natural beauty. Open all year round, it's a family-friendly base for anyone curious about the underwater world of Halkidiki.

Courses and diving

Newcomers can start with Discover Scuba Diving, a roughly two-hour introduction from USD 120, run in small groups with a flexible programme arranged around each student. The centre also offers a full PADI training cycle, EFR first aid, night dives and snorkelling boat trips, guided by its PADI professionals in controlled, safe settings.

From its own dive boat, Athos Scuba opens up more than 21 dive sites around Amouliani island — among them Alykes, Petalo 1, Astakos and Dias — one of the least explored underwater landscapes in the region, with vivid colour and rich marine variety. With a house reef, onsite classroom, accommodation, gear rental and air fills, it suits both first-timers and returning divers.
