Our history

We are a PADI Five Star Dive Center situated in Thassos Island, in Potos city, the first opened on the Island when the Greek diving law was changed in 2005 opening most the areas for diving activities.

With patience and professionalism, we’ll answer to all the issues and concerns that might appear in front of the unknown, remind what has been forgotten and ensure that everybody receives individual support.

From beginner to professional levels, recreational or technical diving, our commitment is to offer safe, fun, boat diving and training based on our instructors experience and using modern equipment.

During the winter time we organize diving trips around the world and, for the ones living in Romania, scuba diving courses.
