All the team were personable, helpful and made the trip enjoyable throughout. As it is for beginners you walk into the sea from a beach and go about 10-20m into the sea with the surface only 6ft away. Very enjoyable with visiting the seaside, pictures and videos taken. Thank you team!

My 15 year old is working on his dive certification & wanted the experience of diving in Crete. This is a shore dive & is great for 1st time divers but a little slow for people with more experience. The instructor was great & a very nice guy. The transport is a comfortable a/c van a nice drive to a beach & a cute little town. The dive was about 30-40 minutes in about 5 meters of water. Good safety briefing. Wetsuit and equipment provided. Would have liked to have purchased a Tee-shirt commemorating his 1st dive in Crete. Maybe consider investing in some merch :-) Overall, a good experience for new divers, you are in safe, competent hands. 3 people with 2 instructors make it well staffed. I can't say enough good things about the instructors. If you have a kid who is interested in diving, these are your guys.

The Scubadiving experience was great. They take care of you on top of the water and under the water in each step. The instructors make sure that you're swimming in the right direction and check on you every now and then. Incase of any distress they take immediate action. It felt very safe to do this first dive.
