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.

We had an amazing time today with yannis! We felt super comfortable the whole time. Highly recommended & you also get lots of pictures (without an extra fee). Booking via whatsapp was also totally uncomplicated - nothing more to add.

I dived with Charis 2 days/4 dives, all wall dives. We saw lots of life, octopuses, Spanish dancers, sea stars, fireworms, large groupers. Everything was relaxed. I improved my trim in the water under Charis advice, reducing weight carried.
Overall, great experience, good value for money.

I didn't know what to expect from diving in Greece as I usually dive in warmer tropical water. The shop was about a 15 minute drive from Afytos and so we decided to drive up to Neas Potideas Beach and try to find the shop. The shop is a large kiosk but well marked with dive flags so was easy to find and they said come back tomorrow at 9am, pick up your gear (they had everything) and then Charis will drive everyone to a site in the south. Came back the next morning, everything was easy and we drove to the southern trip of Halkidiki to a site with a shore entry. The water was surprisingly warm for September and a 3mm wetsuit was perfect. We were a small group of divers, three total, and Charis led us first around the southern part of the reef and then a second dive to the north. Charis is a great divemaster and took a lot of photos with his gopro which he sent around to everyone which was a nice bonus. I asked him about other diving sites in Greece and he said to just send him a WhatsApp if I'm traveling anywhere else in Greece and he'd be happy to link me with other dive colleagues. Great shop, highly recommend and great team. I'll plan another visit.

The diving with Charis was great! He was super organized, took care of everything, and paid a lot of attention to our safety and wellbeing. I dived on two days with him and would go for more if I did not have to leave. Many thanks!

Excellent Dive Centre. We not planning to dive on this holiday but stumped across Yannis and Pedro late one afternoon on a stroll along the beach.

We explained I'm a DM with recent dives, Partner an AOW not dived in almost a year and our son 15 only done a pool dive. They were literally closing for the day but took time to tell us options and came up with a great offer of a dive the next day off the shore of the centre that would allow us to do e as a family something we really wanted to do.

Next day we were there with our boy doing his Discover Scuba, my girlfriend here Refresher and me joining them too along with Yannis and Pedro from the dove centre.

We had a beautiful dive and the family experience will be something we never forget being our boys first sea dive.

They were so safe but also made the experience fun. I'm glad we found them so late in our holiday otherwise we'd have spent a fortune there 🙂.

We had to rush off at the end of the dive as had a hire car to return but the hospitality and friendlyness of them both we'd have loved to have stayed for a beer Apres Dive!

Thank you guys for looking after us so well and even though it was only one dive you really made family memories for us. If we come back we will come see you again for sure.

This was my first diving experience and it was simply amazing!!! Charis plotted with my boyfriend to organise a special surprise in order to celebrate our 10 years anniversary, the marriage proposal 🙈 The entire experience was outstanding, Yannis is an amazing instructor and helped me a lot to get to where the ring was waiting for me... I felt safe and always in good hands. I have nothing but good words and I would definitely recommend it to anyone, if it’s just for one time or if you want to become an certified diver.
Ps. I almost forgot to look at the aquatic landscape with all that was happening around me 😆 therefore the pictures and videos they’ve taken helped me a lot relive the experience and have amazing memories 💕

I went for a Discover Scuba Diving session with Ioannis this morning (15 July) and he was very helpful and friendly and I really enjoyed my lesson. He even advised me on how to start on working towards becoming a certified diver, and I have now decided to do the 5 day course that they offer within the Blue Diving Center.

Charis and Yannis were great to talk to all aspects of diving. Full of information, patience and experience. My boyfriend and I wanted to have a fun dive together as I am newly qualified open water diver. I was a little bit nervous but Charis is such a great instructor that I relaxed as soon as we went under. I really liked the sandy beach entry and the gradual descend. Visibility was great at all depths we went to. A bit chilli for me at 15 meters though :) I was glad I chose full body 5mm suit. I would definitely recommend this excursion
