Triton Scuba

Founded in Thessaloniki in 1995, with its first Halkidiki base opening two years later, Triton Scuba has spent decades helping divers of every level explore the crystal-clear waters off Paliouri, Greece. A PADI 5 Star Dive Resort with six multi-lingual instructors, the centre runs diving every day throughout the summer season, with classes starting at 9:00 or 13:30.

Courses and dive sites

Whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or working toward a professional rating, Triton covers the full spectrum — from PADI Bubblemaker and Discover Scuba Diving through Scuba Diver, Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver and Divemaster, plus Emergency First Response training. Instruction is offered in English, Greek and Russian.

Seven dive sites — among them Bubbles, Agios Nikolaos, Chrousso bay, Porto Valitsa, Loutra and Avlaki — offer depths from 5 to 40 metres, with caves and holes to explore amid varied rock formations. Expect octopus, starfish, sponges and coral, backed by an onsite training pool, classroom, house reef and waterfront location. It's an easygoing base that suits curious first-timers and certified divers alike.
