They say it’s a boat dive, but it’s a poor shore dive for the same price

We booked the two tank boat tour. We received email confirmation the day before that everything was good to go. We showed up and found out the boat wasn’t working and we’d be doing a shore dive. No discount was given. We essentially saw exactly what we’d be able to see with a snorkel, which wasn’t much. We ended up canceling our second dive. Would not recommend

Operator response

Dear Spencer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback after your scuba diving experience with us. We truly appreciate your honesty and are genuinely sorry to hear that your dives did not meet your expectations. We take all feedback very seriously and use it to continuously improve our service. To address the points you raised: Dive Site Selection: As stated in our terms and conditions (which must be accepted during booking), we cannot guarantee specific dive sites. Final locations depend on several factors, including weather conditions, sea state, diver experience levels, and operational safety requirements. Pricing: The price for boat dives and shore dives is identical, as clearly listed on our website. No additional charges were applied to your booking. Refund: We did a full refund for the difference on your second dive. While we’re disappointed we couldn’t deliver the experience you were hoping for, our home reef remains vibrant and healthy, and it continues to be highly praised by thousands of divers who have joined us over the past 40 years. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future. Should you have any questions or if we can assist in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. Best regards, The Mykonos Diving Center Team

An Unforgettable First Dive Experience with an Exceptional Instructor

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Mykonos Diving Centre! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. My daughters had such a fantastic time during their Discover Scuba Diving session, it was their first time and were so nervous, but they were smiling from start to finish. A very special thanks to Niraj, who made the whole experience even more memorable. He is an incredibly calm, patient, and reassuring instructor, which made my daughters feel completely at ease in the water. He took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed the process, and created a safe and relaxed atmosphere throughout. His positive energy and genuine passion for diving really stood out. It’s clear that Niraj not only cares about safety but also about making sure everyone enjoys every moment of the experience. Thanks to him, my daughters gained confidence and had so much fun exploring the underwater world. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and unforgettable diving experience!

First bubbles, First smiles

We weren’t really feeling it at first, but Joaquin completely turned our day around! 🌊🐠 He was so patient, kind, and really took the time to make sure we felt comfortable. Thanks to him, what started with hesitation became the best experience of our trip! 💙 We discovered a whole new world underwater and left with big smiles. Highly recommend booking with Joaquin! The rest of the team is as well really lovely and welcoming. So we can only recommend ✨

ReActivate Scuba at MDC

I did my scuba ReActivate and a recreational dive at Mykonos Diving Center. My diving instructor Demi did a wonderful job. She was patient in teaching me some elemental skills and then continued to show me the home reef at Paradise beach. I really enjoyed the two dives here!
