After a not-so-good experience with “Corfu Dive Club” on the east side of the island, this dive center was a refreshing experience. It’s right next to a restaurant and beach, is in the shade when you dive in the morning which is great, and they have proper equipment of many different sizes. You can try different masks until you find one that you like, just get there early to do that. You can have a 10, 12 or 15 litre tank if you like with no questions asked. You can park your car up on the road 5 minutes walk from the dive centre and only need to carry your tank and equipment down one set of steps to the beach. Although this is a PADI place, they have the QR code that allows you to verify the dive in the SSI app. The instructors are friendly and the humour between the German and the Greek instructors who were on the same boat was hilarious! They speak very good English, German and Greek. A helper kid helps with putting the tank onto the boat, you get two dives and all the equipment rental and a snack / water bottle on the boat for 89 euros per person. You don’t have to carry the tanks very far and get help if you struggle to carry them. The dives are off the side of the boat, so you sit on and fall back. Others help you with your fins if you struggle. There’s a generally positive atmosphere on the boat and during the dives. The dives themselves were very good and we saw an octopus and plenty of fish, and some coral (although it’s Greece not the Caribbean so you can’t expect so much). Here you have to clean the stuff yourself afterwards which takes some time though, so factor that in.

We had an amazing time with the scuba diving experience here. We took the two dive option and we really had fun doing it, It's something we will remember for the rest of our lives and we are already looking for our next dive and full course. Our first dive was brilliant, everything went perfectly, but the second dive was slowed down by sharing it with someone doing their first. we waited for his safety routines which took maybe 3x the length it should have, he was then carried for the whole trip by one of the instructors which shortened ours. Although this wasn't a big issue, as it really isn't this persons fault. Our main problem was with the pictures and videos, we chose to pay extra for these and we have just seen them today. The quality is just extremely poor, we are not centred in any of them and half cut off in most. the only video that was taken seems to be taken by mistake and directed at the floor. It's a shame because we had such a good experience with the dive, but it seems the person taking the pictures just didn't really care. Having a look through other shoots in the days before and after it seems ours were just of extremely poor quality. It would have been nice to have these as a memory.
Very good diving. Beautiful people and beautiful places to see
It was a GREAT experience! We are a couple and one of us did the open water diver at archilleon diving center. The hole team is incredibly friendly, helpful and more than everything professional. Security is always priority! I never felt so save and comfort while diving. They gave so many Tipps and help and also the diving spots are just beautiful. And seriously EVERYONE of the team was so nice! Never had I ever such a good time in a diving school. We really loved it! Sure we come back someday. Thank you guys ️
Nice friendly dive center. Got to do 2 dives which were very well priced. They even provided transport for 20 from the otherside of the island which was great.
Great experience. Unfortunately I only had time to do 1 dive but would definitely go back if given the opportunity. Friendly staff and super professional.
Friendly and very professional staff. Good equipment and nice dive-sites very close to the dive-school. If you want to go diving around Corfu (and you should), go with the guys!
Great experience at Achilleon. They are top notch with guided dives, quality gear, and good dive master to dive ratio. Majority of dives are just outside the cove.
