Open Water Course

OWD is your big first step on the diving certification ladder. The 3-4 day Open Water Course includes five dives, one in confined water and four in the open sea, also a theory part that can be done online with e-learning systems.

This license enables you to dive to a depth up to 18 meters in conditions which do not exceed your training, accompanied by a buddy who is also a certified diver at the diving destinations throughout the world! 

This course is for adults and for +10 years old with parental permission.

You will learn:

  • How to assemble your scuba gear.
  • How to descend/ascend safely.
  • Manage your buoyancy.
  • Mask cleaning and removal
  • Regulator clearing, sharing and retrieval.
  • To dive with a respectful approach to the marine environment.

We are members of the 2 world’s biggest Scuba Schools: PADI & SSI. You will be able to choose the one you prefer or leave it to us to advise you. 

Santorini has great water conditions, no strong currents and at least 30meters  visibility, which makes diving even more fun and enjoyable, great for learning!

All our dives programs include a little snack on the break and water.

Next level service coupled with some memorable dives All of the interactions with this team were fantastic. Very well run operation and I highly recommend if you are thinking about diving Oia. Very friendly and helpful (for both experienced and learning divers).Joseph and Omar were great. The trip was finished with an unexpected but greatly appreciated ride back to my hotel from Apostolos (after taxi difficulties). Nicely done team Atlantis. Looking forward to diving with you during my next trip to Oia.

Wonderful caldera dive. Signed up for a dive with Atlantis. Had two dives on the trip, the equipment was great, the crew was very helpful and the dive sites in the caldera were very beautiful. Highly recommend Atlantis. I also highly recommend a dive on when in Santorini.

Supervision and organization at the top! Small structure with exceptional framing. Experienced organization and very Ace and attentive supervision.We have been divers for 20 years, on Oia for 4 days, we decided late to dive. The loaned material was of good quality and size, full suit 5mm and slippers (I am chilly) We enjoyed the dive 2 morning tanks with 2 frames (instructor and dive master) allowing the least air greedy to extend the supervised dive. Few fish how often in Greece but breathtaking and unexpected underwater landscapes. I highly recommend this structure
