If you have experienced scuba diving before and you wanna become a certified diver able to dive all over the globe, then look no further! The Open Water and Advanced Open Water Certificate by PADI is the ticket to a lifetime of adventure. The friendly instructors of Blue Island Divers are ready to welcome you to their cosy diving centre and teach you everything about diving down to 18 meters and 30 meters respectively for each course. You can combine your holidays under the sun in the white-washed houses of Paros or Antiparos and a course that will open the doors to the world under the surface!

If you are running short of time or you just don't feel like investing too much time in scuba diving, then the Scuba Diver course is designed for you. Over two days you will learn the theory of scuba diving and you will have 2 dives from the boat on different spots. In two days you will have the Scuba Diver certificate, which will allow you to dive down to 12 meters. And as the dives are logged in your personal book, you can continue with your Open Water certification later on.

Choose from the courses below and get your certification in 4 days' time. You do not need previous experience to start with the Open Water course. Your instructors will get you familiar with the equipment and the techniques to dive down to 18 meters. For the Advanced Open Water certification, you need to have obtained the Open Water Certification before and it lasts 2 or 3 days. You will explore unique areas around the island of Antiparos, and dive to places that haven't been visited before. At the end of the course, you will get your certification that is valid everywhere around the globe.

Diving spots:

Wrecks: There are two wrecks around the island. One of the wrecks is a magnificent tanker that sank in 1882 whist carrying iron ore. The other one is the famous M.S. Express Samina, a 115 metres ferry that sank in 2000 due to weather conditions.

Reefs: Due to the volcanic nature of the surrounding area there are a number of small reefs either protruding just above the surface or hidden a few metres below the surface. You will be amazed by the colours of the reefs and the variety of marine life living around them.

Caverns: There are many caves, holes and caverns around the island of Antiparos. The highlight is the Blue Hole where you can surface inside and breathe the air in a magnificent secret environment.
