Fantastic experience taking the “Try Freediving” course with Giannis. Instruction was clear, professional, well organized and fun! The shop has a great vibe, so I’m sure you will have a great experience at Amorgos Diving Center no matter what activity you select. Obviously very well-run.
Great diving Center! The team were kind, organised and they knew what they were doing! I did one dive and the experience was fantastic! The equipment is excellent and I would definitely recommend them!
Excellent diving center with a great team and also important: high quality gear! 🙂
Excellent diving center : serious, modern equipment, very nice team and thorough knowledge of Amorgos best diving spot. Giannis K and Dimitris, my freediving instructors were excellent teachers. Thanks a lot!
Amazing people, excellent staff, friendly & generally awesome! Made our experience (me wife & 9yo) on Amorgos so exciting & fun. Thanks to all the instructors & staff we had during our time – they made us all feel so welcome & cared for. Thank you, from Simon, Maddie, Libby & Teddy!
Absolutely professional diving center with multilingual crew and dive masters. Offer Freediving and Scuba. Great spots with – for Greece – a good amount of interesting fish, caves and ancient stuff like marble blocks and amphoras left over from a sunken ship.
Highly recommendable address and a must if you think about diving somewhere around Amorgos!
We offer a wide range of courses for both scuba and freediving. We are sure there is something for everyone!
To learn how to scuba dive you need to register for a beginner course, do some at home academic learning using comprehensive SSI online learning materials. This will be complemented by in person academic and pool sessions to teach you all about the scuba equipment use, safety rules and information and any above and underwater skills needed to become a comfortable diver.
The SSI Open Water Diver course generally takes 3-4 days but it is flexible and performance based, which means the schedule of your course can be organized to best fit your schedule and progress through the course.
If you don’t have the time, SSI Scuba Diver is a limited certification that only takes 2 days!
The full SSI Open Water Diver course with us costs 410€ and includes the use of all academic materials and scuba equipment needed.
Prices differ depending on the program, for specific interest look at the relevant section of the website or contact us directly.
All the scuba gear needed for the course will be provided for you. This includes a mask, snorkel, fins, a buoyancy compensating jacket, a scuba tank, regulator set for breathing, instrumentation for knowing your depth and air levels, a weight system as well as any weather appropriate thermal protection.

Some swimming ability is required. You need to have basic swimming skills to be able to swim a couple hundred meters and be able to comfortably maintain yourself in the water by floating/treading water for 10 minutes.
