Ikaria Diving Center is situated in the coastal village of Therma, offering a gateway to the Aegean's quieter corners. The centre is built around the local philosophy of 'Avrio'—the idea that there is always tomorrow—encouraging a relaxed approach to exploration that suits the island's character.
While the focus remains on diving, the centre operates as a multi-activity hub for those interested in the surrounding environment. Beyond the water, the proximity to Therma's medicinal thermal springs and local dining makes it a practical base for a longer stay.
The centre provides instruction for a wide variety of age groups and skill levels. This includes standard scuba training, specialised courses, and dedicated diving programmes designed specifically for children.
For those looking to advance their technical skills, the centre offers scooter training to enhance underwater mobility. The team maintains a focus on exploration, guiding divers through the local marine environments at a pace that respects the island's calm atmosphere.
The training programme covers the full spectrum of recreational diving. You can begin with your Open Water Diver certification and progress through various specialised courses.
In addition to standard scuba training, the centre provides instruction in scooter use, adding a different dimension to your underwater movement.
A full range of diving kit is available for hire on-site, allowing you to travel light. This includes essential equipment such as wetsuits, regulators, fins, and masks.
For those interested in surface exploration, the centre also rents and sells equipment for Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, and snorkeling.
