Detailed description

Enrich your active holidays with diving excursions, snorkeling or night dives.

Snorkelling or diving in Crete are the best ways to discover the underwater world. It offers you many wonderful new experiences and challenges, endless fun, pleasure and an incomparable romance on diving trips. It is a special way of life, through which you are enriched by snorkeling or your first diving experience. Experienced divers can explore the diving area sportively or dare their first night dive.

Our diving centre in Crete offers diving courses and training to meet all requirements. We have a wide range of modern and safe diving equipment and also offer PADI diving courses with international recognition.

Fantastic snorkel trips are waiting for you to experience some of the most interesting coasts of the Mediterranean.

Snorkelling is a great opportunity to develop interest and curiosity for the richness of the underwater world and the conservation of biodiversity. With its great variety of colours, textures and animal species, including a number of living creatures such as sponges, sea anemones and sea squirts, the hidden world of the seabed is a constant source of surprises.

Crete is an ideal place for snorkelling as the water is relatively warm and very clear. Although any rocky bay is good for diving or snorkelling and exploring the seabed, the waters of the south coast are particularly recommended, as the restrictions on fishing ensure that the marine fauna is richer.

Our location on Crete offers the best of both worlds. Excellent equipment and first class instructors who know their way around and the typical oceanography of the Aegean and Libyan Seas.

We do our best to make every diving course a very personal and unforgettable experience. Book to get a feel for diving for the first time, discover Crete's underwater world or intensify your passion for diving with open water diving or night dives.
