The best diving center in Greece! Brand new equipment and great hospitality! Alexandros has huge experience, and he is so kind and careful! The diving spots are wonderful and full of live! You can make great pictures and build your memories...! Thanks, Alexandros! We meet you definitely again soon!
Tzanko Milanov
Water is my favorite element. I like to feel it, to move and breathe in it while observing or dreaming. It’ s not easy to find people who share the same feeling for it. Diving with Alexandros is a wonderful experience. not just because he is passionate about the deep sea and the Sealife,. but because he guides quietly , he gives you space and time to explore and take initiative into the water, he is like a silent and protective guard . This kind of diving is so similar to a nice yoga class. You find yourself in a neutral place and time where you can meet your true essence without limits. You let yourself go with the flow. I truly adore this feeling. I am so happy for yesterday ‘s diving experience! Thank uuu!!!
Fay Balomenou
Alexandros and the team all very friendly and approachable. I showed up on spec with just my fins and mask and asked them if they would take me out to practice freediving. Alexandros arranged boat, buoy and marked up line, wetsuit, hood and even had some friends along as safety divers. Smart boat, friendly and professional outfit. I hope I get the chance to dive with you all again. Thank you Deep Blue
Michelle Gray
Top of the line, very well-run dive center. The equipment is in perfect condition – especially the compressor room. Simply beautiful. As a divemaster, it’s obvious to me, that the staff takes safety extremely seriously. In my time diving I have only seen few places with the attention to detail, that these people have. 10/10!
Frederik Foder Randrup
Those guys are THE BEST! They are the reason why I became passionate about diving. Deep Blue Divers has the most professional, funny, best diving team – I’m a fan.

Deep Blue Divers are not only a fantastic professional, safety efficient company but they are a great down to earth bunch of people who really make your experience worthwhile.

Mikkel Hebsgaard Lauritsen
My husband and I were on our vacation in Sivota and one day, somehow, we dropped our GoPro camera. The bottom was at 7 meters, but it was covered in grass, very thick and long, we couldn’t find it for two days. But then we went to Deep Blue Divers, and they offered us help right away and managed to find our camera and save our memories. Thank you so much once again!!! We are grateful for having chance to meet you!
Jesena Zugic
2 great dives today. Felt very comfortable as soon as I arrived at the dive center. Very professional, good quality equipment, all well maintained. Dive leader and instructors excellent. The fish life was the best I have seen in Greece. The best dive I have had in Greece. If you are thinking about going- I can’t recommend highly enough!!!
Kate Pym
Diving with Anna & Matteo was an amazing experience!!! One of the best of our lives! Thank you so much for doing what you love and share it with us! We had a lot of laughs so thank you for that! Many kisses from Paris!! We hope to see you again next year Baptiste & Beatrice.
Beatrice Pitoulis
Really fantastic instructors – friendly, patient, chilled! As a rather anxious beginner I found them so helpful. We had a great trip – thanks! 5 Stars.
Philippa Cross
Professional but fun. Alexandros made my 15-year-old daughter feel comfortable on the final stage of her PADI training and qualification dives. As parents we had absolute faith in Alexandros and the team for her safety and enjoyment on the dives. We contacted them from the UK by email having been referred to them by Neilson who we were holidaying with. The dives dates and timings were sorted out by text while we were there, and we accompanied her to the dive sites and borrowed some masks and snorkels to potter around while waiting for her to surface. The underwater pictures they’ve sent us are fantastic for us to see her really enjoying herself and for her to keep. We highly recommend.
Helen Parsons
Had a great time scuba diving today with a friendly, helpful, supportive team, and perfect diving waters. Would recommend to anyone, especially beginners.
John Dale
Fantastic, Awesome could continue….. Educated and well-trained people. Great place for diving. Great for a beginner like me.
Henning Gammelmark
A must if you come to visit Syvota. We had booked our session in advance, and they were very helpful with any kind of questions we might had. Professional and eager to help with any difficulties during the course. The Deep Blue Divers team is amazing, and we thank you a lot for the amazing experience.
George Vergidis
Amazing dive center, Alexandros was kind and much experienced! One of the dives where you trust the dive master and can lean back, relax, and focus on enjoying your dive! Defiantly a recommendation from me, and also enjoying the underwater pictures and videos we took.
Thomas Andersen
Very nice experience with this diving center. Host name is Alexandros, and he is friendly and helpful. We had a session of two dives - approx. one hour each dive, with a break between them. We dove from the boat in two different places. Nice marine life and we played a bit with baby octopus. Thank you for the service !
Radu
I completed the Open Water Diver course at Deep Blue Divers and I totally recommend it! Alexandros and Anna were amazing and very supportive through the process. I will definitely go back next summer for more dives!
Alexandros Bellos
Very professional. Friendly and attentive. The equipment is neat and well-kept - everthing is perfect! My wife and i had a wonderful afternoon under water. It was free of any stress. Alexandros was very helpful and patient also with the unexperienced or new divers. Thank you very much. Hope to see you on our next holiday
Alexander Willuweit
Me and my husband went for our first dive here. I was a bit nervous at first but Alexandros made me feel safe and looked after the whole dive. And the information before the dive was very good so you knew what would happen and how to act in different situations. Thank you Alexandros for a dive we will remember forever. Hopefully we will be back next year. 🙂 Kim & Svenne
Kim Andersson
A truly great diving center to get your Open Water Certification - very knowledgeable instructors, high-quality equipment & crystal clear water. Thank you, Alexandros and Anna !
P Parvanov
Professionals, friends and again professionals, that's how the experience with Alexandros and the team can be summed up! Besides the wonderful experience of diving, here you will find some wonderful and extremely friendly people. For me it was the second time and I will not stop here. I can say that 90% come to Sivota for this reunion with friends from Deep Blue Divers. I can say that 90% come to Sivota for this reunion with my friends from Deep Blue Divers.

An amazing place with the best teachers! I had my open water diver PADI certification with them, a very safe, fun and unforgettable experience! An excellent choice if you are spending some day in Greece!
Luana De Luca Marcantonio
Alexandros, Anna, Adina and Max, all gave us a fantastic experience during our dive. So friendly and inviting. We were only two divers, but our family could join the ride, and watch from the beach. Great instructions - me and my son felt safe all the time. Would go again if I could!
Thomas Riise Hansen
Went on a two-tank dive with Deep Blue Divers at Sivota. We were 3 divers and a passenger that joined for the ride, and we are relatively new to diving. The team, Alexandros, Adina and Max, were great at planning the dive so it suited our level of experience but still was challenging. Really a great experience!
Casper Hoffmeyer
Meine Freundin und ich hatten unseren ersten Salzwasser Dive nach Bestehen unseres OWDs. Alexandros und Vasilli waren super freundliche und witzige Guides. Meine Email mit Fragen wurde schnell beantwortet. Es wird einem auch vor Ort alles erklärt und auch alles für einen aufgebaut. Mit dem Boot fährt man an die Tauchstellen, die an das Skill Level der Gruppe angepasst sind. Wir haben uns immer sicher gefühlt, da beide Guides sehr erfahren sind. Fotos gibt es natürlich auch im Anschluss. Hier plane ich definitiv wieder ein paar Dives!
Sanda Foks
What a wonderful experience and fantastic people. All I can say is the team there made our test dive experience fantastic. Nothing seems to be a Problem, and they made my 14 year old daughter feel very at ease. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you all again for making such a Priceless memory.
Simon Spencer
Fantastic experience with super professional diving center! Very friendly and well-organized center and equipment of a high standard. Thanks to Alexandros for a great diving experience in Sivota, and for the great photos from the dive experience! I will definitely be back!
Jens Helstrup Jensen
We had the best time! I did the Discovery Scuba programme together with my two teenage daughters. Super nice diving centre right off the port of Sivota. Very professional, experienced and friendly instructors. Great equipment. Alexandros, Anna & Matteo went out of their way to make sure we had a magical time. We loved it and can't wait to dive again. Thank you to the whole team!
Corinna Ditscheid
