Dive Greece - Alonissos Marine Park
Dive Greece operates right within the Alonissos Marine Park, which immediately tells you something important about their focus. They're all about exploring the historical wrecks and natural beauty of this protected area. We found them particularly good at guiding divers through the park's famous shipwreck, the Peristera, a site that truly transports you back in time. If you're keen on combining history with some excellent Mediterranean reef diving, this is a solid choice. The centre is well-equipped for rental gear and offers various courses, making it suitable for both newer divers and those looking to advance their skills within a unique marine environment.
