Mykonos Diving Center about the centre
Mykonos Diving Center has been a fixture of the local diving community since 1978. Originally established in Psarou, the centre has operated from its current location on Paradise Beach for nearly two decades, providing a base for exploring the Aegean Sea.
As a PADI 5 Star dive centre, the facility serves as both a professional training school and an excursion provider. You can choose from a variety of dive schedules throughout the day, with departures typically occurring in the morning and afternoon to accommodate different itineraries.
The club and its team
The centre is a PADI 5 Star facility and also holds CMAS OCC certification. This dual affiliation supports a wide range of divers, from those seeking their first certification to professional candidates working towards their Divemaster rating.
Safety is a core component of their operations, with the centre being insured by DAN and maintaining Bureau Veritas EN 14467 certification. The team is experienced in handling both recreational excursions and formal training programmes, ensuring that the technical requirements of each dive are met.
For those looking to extend their stay, the centre offers onsite accommodation in newly constructed villas and apartments. These units, ranging from 30 to 60 square metres, are located in a quiet area overlooking Elia Beach, just a short distance from the main dive operations at Paradise Beach.
