May the dark side be with you
Dipping below the surface at night is mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you might have been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night as you descend you drop into a whole new world as day creatures have retired and nocturnal organisms emerge under your dive light. Discover the magic with the Night Diver Specialty.
If you have wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, are at least a 12 years old and hold an Open Water Diver certification or higher, then this course is for you!Â
Night diving requires a different set of skills from diving during the day. But once you have the knowledge, it holds a special place in the hearts of many divers. Night dives bring a different kind of peace and wonder to the underwater world. Come and find out what it takes to dive in the dark and discover creatures you didn’t even know existed!
The SSI Night Diving and Limited Visibility specialty is the best way to learn about night diving and practice the techniques you will need to become a safe and confident night diver. Through a combination of online and in-person learning, and 2 nights of open water training dives, you will learn how to plan and safely complete your night or limited visibility dive adventures, how to use specialized equipment, and how to communicate with your buddy easily at night or in limited visibility.

Fantastic experience taking the “Try Freediving” course with Giannis. Instruction was clear, professional, well organized and fun! The shop has a great vibe, so I’m sure you will have a great experience at Amorgos Diving Center no matter what activity you select. Obviously very well-run.
Great diving Center! The team were kind, organised and they knew what they were doing! I did one dive and the experience was fantastic! The equipment is excellent and I would definitely recommend them!
Excellent diving center with a great team and also important: high quality gear! 🙂
Excellent diving center : serious, modern equipment, very nice team and thorough knowledge of Amorgos best diving spot. Giannis K and Dimitris, my freediving instructors were excellent teachers. Thanks a lot!
Amazing people, excellent staff, friendly & generally awesome! Made our experience (me wife & 9yo) on Amorgos so exciting & fun. Thanks to all the instructors & staff we had during our time – they made us all feel so welcome & cared for. Thank you, from Simon, Maddie, Libby & Teddy!
Absolutely professional diving center with multilingual crew and dive masters. Offer Freediving and Scuba. Great spots with – for Greece – a good amount of interesting fish, caves and ancient stuff like marble blocks and amphoras left over from a sunken ship.
Highly recommendable address and a must if you think about diving somewhere around Amorgos!
We offer a wide range of courses for both scuba and freediving. We are sure there is something for everyone!
