Dive Code - Alonissos Marine Park
Dive Code operates right in the heart of Alonissos Marine Park, which is a real advantage for divers keen to explore Greece's first marine protected area. We appreciate their focus on smaller group sizes, making the dives feel more personal and less like a cattle call, especially at popular spots. They run a tight ship with their gear and boats, and we’ve found their instructors genuinely know the local waters, pointing out everything from elusive monk seals to the small nudibranchs hiding on the sponges. It’s a solid choice for divers who prioritize environmental responsibility and want to spend their surface intervals learning about the park's conservation efforts.
