6 out of 5 stars!
So much fun tailored to my experience level.
I would recommend Athos Diving to everyone fit for diving. 🙂
Overview:
At Athos Diving, the atmosphere is delightfully light-hearted and enjoyable, making every moment a pleasure. The entire team is exceptionally professional and a joy to be around. They went the extra mile to ensure my experience was effortless, even selecting the perfect dive site tailored to my level of experience.
I could sense their passion for diving and their desire to share the stunning underwater landscapes with guests. In simple terms, the team genuinely loves what they do, and they excel at it!
The location:
I really liked the base’s location. From Eagles Palace, it was just a 4-minute stroll along the beach. This meant I could unwind by the shore, do a little snorkeling before the dive, and then casually walk over.
The owners:
The two owners, Niki & Katerina are both absolutely fantastic! So much fun to chat. Both appear to be highly professional divers with extensive experience in both diving and teaching—a rare and exceptional combination!
The equipment:
The equipment is top notch, nothing seemed old or overused.
Getting to the dive sites was a little adventure in itself:
We boarded a small boat and took some quick rides to the sites that added an exciting element to the journey. During my stay, there were nearly no waves and the see was really calm.
The diving sites:
Currently, they offer 21 diving spots suitable for divers of various skill levels. The water is crystal clear, reminiscent of what you would expect in destinations like the Maldives, Caribbean, or Croatia. I observed a variety of different fish species, with no presence of sharks or any potential harm. While the underwater fauna may not be as vibrant in color as tropical regions, my overall experience, both underwater and above water, surpassed what I’ve encountered in Thailand, Bali, or Egypt.
Before the dive, it could make sense to check the website, since comprehensive information and stunning images, giving a glimpse of what to expect without movie-spoiling anything.
My Dives:
Due to the pandemic and the significant break in my diving pursuits, I had nearly let go of my diving hobby. While staying at Eagles Palace, I decided to rekindle my connection with the underwater realm, though I couldn’t shake a touch of apprehension. To ease back into it, I opted for a refresher dive with Nikki to assess whether I still enjoyed and could manage it.
Right out of the box, I realized that Niki is very skilled in diving and teaching! -A rare trade. Coupled with her positive and enjoyable approach to everything, I gotta say, she totally blows my former male instructor in Germany out of the water! No pun intended! 😀
Refreshing my skills was a great mix of fun, calming atmosphere and learning. The refresher dive site was conveniently located right at the base. We effortlessly waded into the water, conducted our training, and then ventured deeper into the bay area. During the dive, we encountered two octopuses nestled in their dens, as well as various snails and clams. This experience allowed me to regain my confidence in handling the BCD in the shallow waters. Everything went perfectly well and I felt really confident to start diving more often again.
On the second dive, we ventured to an island and commenced our descent from 2 meters, gradually reaching a depth of 15 meters with us divers deciding, how deep we want to go!
I had previously mentioned to Nikki that I had spotted some larger, yet elusive fish while snorkeling the day before.
In response, Niki guided us to a cave, carefully illuminating the area with a flashlight to unveil those very same, larger fish, adding an extra layer of wonder and exploration to the experience. Fantastic!
What truly stood out for me during the second dive was the thoughtful planning: It started with a shallow dive, progressed to deeper depths, and culminated at a vantage point with a breathtaking view of the sea. I wish I had more photos of the dive. 🙂 – via

As I already wrote three years ago, strongly recommend the club and the professional attitude of every single person! This summer, I had a great experience with my rescue diver certification – Niki was wonderful instructor, very patient, communicated really well the material (which is significantly more demanding than the open water and advanced trainings). It all went very smoothly! I had wonderful dives with Yiannis and Katerina as usual – their professional attitude contributed to some great open water and advanced dives. – via

(Translated by Google) Friendly and relaxed team. Night dives from the beach to the artificial reef and from the boat off Ammouliani Island were nice and easy

(Translated by Google) I recently did my first dive with Niki. While I was nervous at first, he made everything so understandable that I honestly felt safe and even more excited. I will be going again soon with the rest of my group. I highly recommend them.

Έκανα πρόσφατα την πρώτη κατάδυση με τη Νίκη. Ενώ είχα άγχος στην αρχή, τα έκανε όλα τόσο κατανοητά που ειλικρινά αισθάνθηκα ασφάλεια και ενθουσιάστηκα ακόμη περισσότερο. Θα ξαναπάω σύντομα με την υπόλοιπη παρέα μου. Τους συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα. – via

(Translated by Google) Unique experience! We had the opportunity to dive with Niki as well as Katerina and Giannis with the boat. We went to Ammouliani, the scenery and the underwater life were beautiful! Dimitris and Lydia had everything ready and provided us with any help we needed. It’s one of the few times we’ve seen a team work so well. It shows how much they all love their jobs.
We will try to go again before the season ends, otherwise we will definitely visit them next year.

Μοναδικη εμπειρία! Είχαμε την ευκαιρία να βουτήξουμε και με τη Νίκη αλλά και με την Κατερίνα και τον Γιάννη με το σκάφος. Πήγαμε στην Αμμουλιανή, το τοπίο και η υποβρύχια ζωή ήταν πανέμορφα! Ο Δημήτρης και η Λυδία είχαν τα πάντα έτοιμα και μας παρείχαν ότι βοήθεια χρειαστήκαμε. Είναι από τις λίγες φορές που έχουμε δει ομάδα να λειτουργεί τόσο καλά. Φαίνεται το πόσο πολύ αγαπάνε τη δουλειά τους ολοι τους.
Θα προσπαθήσουμε να ξαναπάμε πριν τελειώσει η σεζόν, αλλιώς σίγουρα του χρόνου θα τους επισκεφτούμε. – via

Arranged the day and time to be picked up from hotel. Sitting waiting all ready to go, nothing. Texted asking hopefully i wasnt left behind, reply was “shit I forgot to tell you it was cancelled”. It was Saturday morning and i was on holiday with my family. Wasted day as we could have planned something else. There must be better and more responsible diving centres in the area that i hope to try next time, not this guy – via
