🤩100% would recommend for beginners! - The staff is very friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed both the physical and educational aspects of scuba diving. It’s clear that they are passionate about their work, which is a lovely sight. They never leave you alone; they always reissue your equipment if you’re okay. My partner and I had a great time. It’s also a family-owned business, thanks to Alex, Orfeas & Eirimi for helping ourselves especially Eirimi with my partner!

Scuba Diving in the Mediterranean - Amazing! Had an initial moment of panic and Alex was very patient ensuring that i was alright and guided me the whole way. He also talked me out of calling it quits. Thank you so much Alex!

Fantastic Beginner Dive - Fantastic experience, diving was so fun. Instructors are super professional and fun to be around. Very beginner friendly. My wife was struggling a little halfway into the dive and the instructors were super helpful/ encouraging and were able to help her figure it all out and and we both were able to have an amazing experience together. Would definitely recommend 10/10.

Great experience - It was a great adventure to be able to scuba dive while in Greece. The price was right and the instruction was well done. My only complaint was having to hold on to the dive instructor the whole time during the dive while he walked/swam backwards. I felt crowded and kept bumping into the other participant with us.
