WE SHALL SEA, Nikolas Evgenikos

We Shall Sea is a dedicated diving and freediving hub situated in Katapola, Amorgos. Since its establishment in 2019, the centre has become a cornerstone for divers looking to explore the Aegean Sea, offering everything from introductory sessions to advanced professional programmes.

The centre operates with a strong focus on safety and technical standards, providing divers with access to exceptional underwater environments. Whether you are looking for a relaxed reef dive or structured professional training, the location serves as an ideal base for exploring the Cyclades.

The centre is affiliated with several major international bodies, including SSI, NDL, IANTD, CMAS, and FFESSM. This wide range of certifications ensures that divers from various backgrounds can find suitable training and recognition for their skills.

Safety is a core component of the operation, with all students and visiting divers covered by DAN (Divers Alert Network) insurance. All equipment undergoes annual inspection and certification by Bureau Veritas, with maintenance carried out after every single dive.

The team communicates in English, French, and Greek, making it easy to follow detailed briefings and instruction. For those pursuing professional paths, the centre offers structured internship options that include accommodation and local produce from the garden.

The training catalogue is extensive, covering the full spectrum of recreational and professional diving. Beginners can start with Try Scuba Diving or Open Water Diver courses, while more experienced divers can pursue Advanced Open Water Diver, Deep Diving, Navigation, or Wreck specialties.

For those looking to advance their careers, the centre offers Divemaster, Dive Guide, and Assistant Instructor programmes. They also provide more specialised training such as Perfect Buoyancy, Digital Photography, and Nitrox certification. Professional students can even progress through to Open Water Instructor levels.

The centre is well-equipped for both recreational and professional diving. Nitrox is available for those looking to extend their bottom time, and the centre maintains a high standard of equipment care with regular inspections.

For night diving, the centre provides the necessary signalling kit, including surface markers, whistles, and torches. Safety protocols are robust, with 100% oxygen, medical kits, and established evacuation plans in place for every site visited.

The marine life in this part of the Aegean is defined by impressive pelagic species. You can regularly encounter Great barracuda and Amberjack patrolling the deeper sections of the reefs and walls.

The underwater scenery is complemented by a variety of smaller residents. Divers should look for various species of fish that inhabit the rocky outcrops and crevices throughout the diving season.

The best time to dive in Amorgos for comfortable water temperatures is between June and October. For those looking to undertake professional courses, the periods from April to June and September to December are often preferred, as they fall outside the peak high season.

Visibility in the area can reach up to 60 metres, providing exceptional clarity for underwater photography and navigation.
