THE BUSINESS

Blue Island Divers has been operating on Antiparos for more than two decades and is the only dedicated dive centre on Antiparos.

The centre offers both PADI scuba diving and PADI Freediving programmes, providing opportunities to serve both traditional scuba divers and the rapidly growing freediving market.

The business benefits from an established reputation and excellent customer feedback, together with a strong showing on Google and an established online presence.

Approximately 30% of customers come from neighbouring Paros, providing an additional market beyond Antiparos itself.
