GORGONIA DIVING

Alonissos Marine Park, Greece

Gorgonia Diving, based in the Alonissos Marine Park, offers something a bit different for those looking to deepen their dive education. While many centres focus on recreational courses, Gorgonia pushes all the way through to instructor training, making it a solid choice if you’re serious about a dive career or just want to see how the pros do it. The local sites are mostly protected, which means consistent conditions and plenty of chances to log some serious bottom time, often with a few inquisitive groupers around. We'd suggest budgeting extra time to explore the island, too; it's got a quieter charm than some of its neighbours.
