About
Santorini Dive Center has the best setup with easy and quick access to all the dive sites around the Caldera and the Volcanoes. The Dive Station is located at Caldera Beach, a small remote beach with traditional caves below the cliffs of Akrotiri village nearby the ruins of the ancient city overlooking the Volcanoes. Our Minibuses will transfer you there from your hotel. The station offers an easy and quick access to all the great volcanic dive spots because all of them are few minutes away. The divers can board from the small pier on the 9m spacious fibreglass fast diveboat able to carry 20 persons in order to start their dive trip. We have an office also in Perissa, at the southeast part of the island and is located in Perissa Camping in front of the famous Black Sand Beach, between the Camping's Beach Bar and Yazz bar.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a brilliant time diving with Marcos - definitely recommend this time of year when they're a bit less busy. Amazing surroundings at Caldera beach too 🙌

Had a fantastic time doing the Discovery Dive! Felt really safe at all times with the amazing Marcos and, after a slow start for me getting to grips with the breathing, had an incredible time seeing lots of fish and nature under the sea.
We were both really well looked after and can't wait to go diving again soon. Would recommend to everyone to give this a go!

We stumbled upon the diving centre after our Santorini Circuit with Rat Race as we wanted to recover and they were amazing! We were very lucky to be assigned Marcos as our guide as he demonstrated enourmous knowledge and he was very friendly and patient. The dive is only off the coast, but I don't think you need to go further to have an amazing experience. Marcos knew where an octopus and that was just incredible. I would totally go back again once we finally get our PADI.

Hello, We are arriving in Santorini at the end of October.We are a family of four (two boys 10 n 12 ).While we are not competent swimmers, our boys have been learning swimming and love water but have never been swimming in open sea or snorkelling . Do you cater for newbies like us.?Does the water get too cold by the end of October.Also if one of us doesnt want to go in the water, can they tag along on the boat while the others do their scuba/ snorkelling thing.We know are boys would love to go!!
Thanks in advance,
Palvik

I will also be taking the Discover Scuba Diving course. I wanted to know if this course takes you to the Caldera to dive or is that an added expense. Thanks
