Yannis is a very friendly, patient and competent instructor. It was my first diving experience. He took the time to explain all the basics and made us (me and my boyfriends sister) feel very safe during the whole trip. The whole team was very welcoming – 100% recommend! Efcharisto poli! 🙂

Great team with good, well-maintained equipment. When diving on Proti I felt well looked after and safe at all times. The diving spot was simply fantastic with an old shipwreck in a bay and lots of schools of fish and numerous special fish.I can only recommend the diving center.

A diving session supervised by Iannis and just brilliant. Don’t hesitate to come if you want to discover diving. Iannis and his team are very friendly with beachside exercises before you take the plunge. The setting is just incredible. Do not hesitate.

Stopped counting around 5.500 dives and yet I still enjoy diving with Yannis and Thannasis. Great bunch, well maintained equipment, odorless air, comfy boat, oxygen safety tank always on board, good dive sites, it’s the full package. What could I ask for more?!!See you next time!!

Ionian Dive Center is the best dive shop I’ve been to in Greece. Yiannis & Thanasis are fantastic guides, who always provide a safe and enjoyable environment. Today we explored the ship wreck at Secret Beach, and saw Lion Fish and an octopus.

One of the best experiences!!! I had the chance to visit the place 5 years ago and while passing by the Ionian Dive Center, our group decided to try the diving experience. The result was that we all got our first diving certificate. In a pleasant and extremely cooperative atmosphere, the guys at Ionian Dive Center transmitted their love for the “hobby turned profession,” infecting us with the bug. Since then, there hasn’t been a year that I haven’t visited them. Unbelievable place, with amazing beauty, especially the island of Proti, which serves as the starting point for unforgettable adventures with the incredible team of Ionian Dive Center. Good dives, buddies !!!!!

I can only highly recommend this diving center!!I’m a somehow experienced diver (..diving since some decades with 400+ dives) and one of the reasons I’m re-visiting this place quite often in the summer time is this diving center:Great team there, very friendly and with excellent mood which is always a nice to have ..however the most important for me: with a numerous amount of excellent diving locations all around Proti Island where this diving center is active (it’s around 10 min boat drive ):the big variety of UW landscapes all around Proti Island and the sea live there make this place absolute worth visiting if you want to enjoy great Mediterranean scuba experience !!!Also to mention that they are absolutely trustworthy with regards to safety .. I trusted them the discover scuba curs of my young daughter and I think this is the highest safety rating I could give to a diving center
