Description

Keadivers is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center located on Kea island, part of the Cyclades complex of islands, just one hour by ferry trip from Athens mainland area. 

To reach Kea, you need to fly to Athens Int Airport. From there, a taxi can take you to Lavrio port in 25 minutes drive. From Lavrio, the ferry will take you to Kea in 70 minutes


This is a great destination for beginners as well as for experienced or even Tec divers. The region's warm, clear waters are ideal for teaching PADI courses. Certified divers can look forward to wall, drift dives and deep water exploration. 

The island is famous for KEA UNDERWATER HISTORIC SITE : A protected area, contaning 3 famous historic wrecks: Britannic, Burdigala, Patris. 

Among the best recreational wreck dives in the Mediterranean, the famous 19th century paddle wheeled steamer Patris, in a depth between 28-40 m, is still in a very good condition and is located very close to our dive center. Swimming and speedboat/snorkeling trips are also available for non-divers.

Britannic and Burdigala, are among the best TEC dives in the world. 

Considering that we provide high end TEC diving services as well, our instructors are very experienced , being TEC divers too, making sure that the level of service provided is really high

All the courses that we offer, even the beginners one, are on a private basis. You will be having your dedicated instructor. No other customers at your course. This is the reason that our prices may be looking a bit more expensive

The operation boasts new and well-maintained equipment as well as top quality four speedboats, 9 m. long each  

Please note: If you check in to the hotel after 15.30 the first day, you will not be able to dive this day. Remember also that you cannot dive for at least 12 hours before your return flight.

During July and August we operate also from our secondary base, in Koundouraki beach, at the south west part of the island (due to better weather conditions) which is 30 minutes drive from the hotel. That means that it is recommended for the clients to book also a rental car for their transport on the island, considering that we (keadivers) are not able to provide such service.
