This is a half-day scuba diving experience to the unspoiled island of Pserimos, designed specifically for first-time divers looking for a safe and relaxed introduction to the underwater world of the Aegean Sea. What makes this experience unique is its strong focus on small groups, calm conditions, and highly personalized instruction from certified PADI instructors, ensuring every guest feels supported from start to finish. Unlike crowded mass tours, this is a family-run experience with a more personal atmosphere and attention to detail, allowing guests to learn at their own pace in a quiet, sheltered bay with excellent visibility. No previous diving experience is required. A full safety and equipment briefing is provided before entering the water, and instructors guide you step by step throughout the entire dive. Everything is included to make this a smooth and beginner-friendly experience—just bring your curiosity and enjoy your time in the water.

Best experience, Lovely staff great time and the optional extra dive was so fun! Would recommend this to anyone that has an interest and whats a good start into it
Thank you so much for your lovely review!!! We’re really happy you enjoyed your first diving experience with us, and even more that you decided to go for the second dive. That’s often where the real fun begins! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you underwater again someday!
We loved the enthusiasm, humor and patience of the team. Even though it was our first time diving, they made everything as easy as possible. We would definitely book again! 👌🏾
Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! 😊 We’re really happy that our enthusiasm, patience, and questionable diving humor 😄, helped make your first experience underwater such an enjoyable one! The first dive is always a little adventure, and you handled it brilliantly. Now that you’ve discovered the underwater world, be careful… diving can become addictive!
We had the best experience as a family with Liamis Dive Centre. First of all I would like to address the politeness and the patience of all the instructors and the captain: the company is managed by Liamis and his wonderful wife and daughter, along with several instructors from all over the world. They were all amazing professionals and made us very comfortable on our first dives. Actually, one of us was fully certified and did two wonderful dives in a major depth, while three of us did the beginners experience which was impressive and very emotional as well. Our guide was so good and we referred to her as Ariel, the princess of the seas. She interacted with all the fishes and with the octopus as if she could talk to them. She shared her passion with us at the point that as beginners are definitely going to do more dives in the future and maybe get a certification as well. We loved every minute of this excursion and could not suggest it more. We were safe, chill, kindly spoken to and impressed by everything. Thank you for everything 💗
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! 💗 Your words truly made our whole team smile — especially “Ariel, the princess of the seas”! 🧜♀️🤿 It was such a pleasure having your family with us, and we’re thrilled that this experience inspired you to keep diving. We hope to see you all underwater again soon! 🐠❤️
If you're thinking about trying scuba diving while you're in Kos, stop thinking and just book with Athina and her amazing team—you won't regret it! We were a family of five, ranging in age from 14 to 44, and every one of us was a complete beginner. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome, relaxed, and completely at ease. They explained everything clearly, took their time to answer any questions, and made sure we felt confident before getting into the water. Their professionalism really stood out. They were incredibly patient with anyone who needed a little extra reassurance or support, and we always felt safe throughout the entire experience. Thanks to their guidance, we all had an incredible first dive and created memories we'll never forget. Top tip: Book your dive early in your holiday—you'll almost certainly want to go again before you leave! Another tip: Take some food and drinks with you on the boat, as you'll appreciate having some refreshments after your dive. A huge thank you to Athina and the whole team for giving our family such an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to come back!
Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review! Reading your kind words truly made our day. It was an absolute pleasure introducing your whole family to the underwater world, and we're so happy we could help create such special memories together. Thank you for your trust and for your wonderful recommendation. We can't wait to welcome you all back for more adventures in Kos! Warm wishes, The Liamis Dive Boat Team
I have no words. The staff was amazing. From start to finish . Professional and experienced. I don’t think you can find better than this. My son enjoyed it so much . They took care of him and I felt very safe to leave him with them . They deserve all the credit you can give them. Thank you
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! ❤️ Your kind words truly mean the world to us. We're especially happy to hear that your son had such a great time and that you felt confident and safe with our team—that's the greatest compliment we could receive. It was a pleasure sharing this experience with your family, and we hope to welcome you both back to Kos for another unforgettable adventure! Warm wishes, Liamis Dive Centre
Absolutely fantastic experience. One of the best things I have ever done and it was immensely enjoyable. I echo everything Paula says as I was the third person on the beginners dive. I felt so safe and everything was explained well. A great atmosphere - it doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced diver, a newbie or a snorkeller. The emphasis on looking after the ocean and making this trip about the diving and the sea life and not a commercial hard sell of booze was great and much appreciated. After all, there are a million pirate boats to choose from if that’s your vibe. Overall I heartily recommend this to anyone thinking about it - it was the highlight of my holidays in recent years 💙🤿🏊
Thank you so much, Kerry, for such a wonderful review! 💙 We're truly honoured that this was one of the highlights of your holiday. It means so much to hear that you felt safe, relaxed, and enjoyed the atmosphere on board. We especially appreciate your comments about our respect for the sea and marine life—that's exactly the experience we want to share with our guests. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Kos for more underwater adventures! 🌊🤿🐠
Omg I cannot recommend this activity enough. Fantastic communication from booking to disembarking the boat. Went into Kos town one evening and found the boat, lady on the boat invited us onboard and discussed everything with us, very friendly and reassuring as it was our first dive. Arrived on the morning and completed a safety questionnaire, was told in detail the itinerary as there were qualified divers also onboard, kitted out with equipment and Ben from the Boro, he looked after us and took many pics. We put on wetsuits and did some snorkelling to get us used to the suits, we then were given instructions and given breathing apparatus, in the water Ben and another guy looked after the 3 of us checking in on us to ensure safety. The guy on the boat keeps an eye on everyone too. Everything was done at a pace comfortable for everyone, my partner was unwell and assisted back to the boat, after the first dive we went back to the boat then myself and the other lady opted for the second dive(payable locally), which is a deeper dive. We both thoroughly enjoyed it, I’d definitely recommend, lovely staff, very helpful but most of all very safety conscious, pictures are an added extra 20Euros which are emailed and lovely.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! 💙 It was a real pleasure meeting you both, and we're delighted your first diving experience was such a positive one. Your kind words about Ben, our team, and our focus on safety mean a great deal to us. Thank you again for recommending us so highly. We hope to welcome you both back to Kos for more underwater adventures in the future! 🌊🐠
This was one of the best things we did while in Kos. The crew are great, the boat is great and the locations are incredible.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to know your experience with us was a highlight of your time in Kos. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we’re delighted you enjoyed the crew, the boat, and the stunning locations. We look forward to welcoming you again.
Amazing adventure staff were amazing could help you enough it was my first time so they explained in a lot of detail so it's easy to understand love it and cant wait to go again
Hey Aaron, Thanks so much for your awesome review! 😄 We’re thrilled you enjoyed your first dive and that our team could make everything easy to understand. 🌊🤿
My son and I had two dives on a Friday with the blue barracuda. Felt perfectly safe and enjoyed the camaraderie. This is a long running family business, and it shows. Excellent experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you and your son felt safe and enjoyed the camaraderie on board. The Blue Barracuda (Luca) is especially happy to hear your kind words! Our family team is proud to create these experiences, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Greetings from Kos!
