Courses and local dive sites

A team of three PADI Instructors delivers training that always meets — and usually exceeds — PADI standards, spanning PADI Scuba Diving, TecRec, Freediving and EFR first aid. Lessons unfold across a spread of Athens-area sites, including the Old quarry, a Small cave, a Car wreck, Schinias bay, Marathon Cape and Profitas Illias.

Diving here comes with Air Conditioning and free Wi-Fi, plus equipment sales and conservation activities. Instruction is offered in English, French and Greek, making this a natural fit for divers who value patient, personal coaching over a one-size-fits-all approach.
