What To Expect
This experience is for certified divers exploring Chania on a two-dive boat trip from Almyrida.
Meet your PADI Instructor at our dive centre to prepare your equipment and receive a briefing before heading to the boat for two guided dives at different sites.
Dive sites depend on sea conditions and group experience. Discover rocky reefs, underwater walls and marine life, including octopus, lionfish, moray eels and schools of fish.
Sites may include the famous Elephant Cave, an underwater cave with a natural air chamber containing prehistoric elephant fossils. Elephant Cave is not guaranteed on this general boat trip and depends on conditions and diver suitability.
You'll dive with an experienced PADI Instructor, with group sizes adapted to diver experience.
Between dives, relax on board with water, Greek tea and a snack bar provided.
Full scuba equipment is included, or you can bring your own.
After both dives, we'll return to Almyrida and finish at the dive centre.
A valid scuba diving certification is required. Divers who haven't dived in the past 12 months may need a refresher, depending on their experience and comfort level. Each diver is assessed individually.
