Bastianos Divers has been a PADI Dive Resort member (R-34063) since 2004, and we have certified many divers most of whom have become our return customers today.

Before you sign up for the PADI Course, please download the Diver Medical Form and check that everything is fine with your medical conditions because we want to make sure that you can dive and you don’t have any medical issues that can stop you from diving. If there is any “YES” answer in one of the points inside the medical statement, you must get written approval to dive from your doctors and bring the letter to us so you can begin the course when you arrive at one of our resort.
