Apollo Corfu Diving Center, also known as Corfu Dive, is situated in the north-east of Corfu, an area widely regarded as the most beautiful part of the island. The centre is positioned in Nissaki, just a 10-minute boat ride from Corfu port, providing easy access to the local diving grounds.

As an established SSI Dive Resort, the centre has built a reputation for professional standards and environmental awareness, having received the 2007 Environmental Achievement Award. The operation is designed to cater to all levels, from families and children looking for their first experience in the water to seasoned divers seeking more technical challenges.

The team at Apollo Corfu is composed of experienced, multi-certified instructors holding qualifications through PADI, SSI, and NAUI. This breadth of accreditation ensures that training follows the highest international standards for safety and pedagogy.

The centre operates with a guide-to-diver ratio of one instructor for every two divers, ensuring close supervision and a personalised experience on every outing. This professional approach extends to their certifications, which include ISO 24801 and European Underwater Federation standards.

The training programme is extensive, covering the full spectrum of recreational and professional diving. Beginners can start with the Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver courses, with subsequent progression through Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver.

For those looking to advance their careers, the centre offers Divemaster and Assistant Instructor training. The curriculum also includes a variety of specialty courses such as Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Drift Diver, Night Diver, and Cavern Diver, as well as technical training like Semi-closed Re-breather and Dry Suit Diver.

The centre operates two dedicated dive boats, allowing for regular departures to various sites around the north-east coast. These vessels facilitate a range of dive types, including shallow reef explorations, deep dives, wreck dives, and night dives.

The centre provides a complete range of diving equipment for hire, maintained to a high standard. This includes everything needed for a full kit setup, from regulators and BCDs to wetsuits and fins.

For those looking to extend their training or dive more frequently, the centre is equipped to support various diving needs, including night diving with dedicated torches.
