Arian Diving Centre
About
Arian Diving Centre, founded in 1978, is one of Greece’s oldest and most respected dive resorts, located on the picturesque island of Kos in the Aegean Sea. The centre’s stunning volcanic coastline offers crystal‑clear waters that reveal an array of underwater wonders, including natural bubble reefs, mysterious caverns, ancient shipwrecks and diverse Mediterranean marine life. Whether you are a seasoned open‑water diver, a junior or beginner eager to learn, or simply a snorkeler wanting a half‑day adventure, the centre provides a full range of guided boat dives, specialty dives, and beginner courses tailored to every skill level. Guests benefit from state‑of‑the‑art equipment, certified instructors from the SSI and ANDI, and a fleet of well‑maintained boats such as Roxy, Athina and the speedboat Dimitra. Arian is known for its safety‑first approach, hands‑on training, and the warm hospitality of its team. Typical dive sessions consist of two 45‑minute dives with up to one hour between dives for surface intervals, while snorkeling trips last roughly 2½ hours and include two scenic stops. The centre offers 1‑hour boat dives for 105 € and 1‑horse snorkel trips for 70 €, with beginner courses starting at 400 € and advanced specialty dives ranging from 200 € to 300 €. No admission is required; booking is recommended to secure your slot, especially during peak seasons. After a dive, visitors often stay in the shade of the boats while enjoying warm drinks and the breathtaking sea views. Arian’s team has gathered an impressive record of safety, skill, and enthusiastic support, continuously receiving positive reviews for their friendly service and the rich marine environment they showcase.
