    What a great afternoon! We set off from Agios Onoufrios, sailed to Seitan Limania and ended in Marathi. We enjoyed lots of snorkelling and swimming and were mesmerised by the sea colour and sea life. Panagiotis, our skipper, was awesome! 🏆 🥇 Professional, fun, caring and so thoughtful. We were impressed with Chania Diving and recommend 100%. Thank you Panagiotis & Christina MTDC xxx

    My other half has dived before but I've struggled even to manage snorkeling... I just can't seem to get the breathing right. With Basil's careful instruction and unlimited patience I managed both and had a whale of a time. I was able to join my other half in the dive and we both gained confidence and were able to enjoy the underwater adventure together. Captain Panos also looked after us and we even saw dolphins on the way back to the dock! I would highly recommend this experience to novice or first-time divers... Give it a try! One thing to highlight - if you are on ANY medication or have any medical/mental health conditions, do check with the dive centre first before booking... chat to Christina - she's super helpful... because some things that seem irrelevant may mean you may not be permitted to dive.

  • Very happy we booked this tour.

    This was a really unique date experience for my partner and I. Our instructors were patient, professional and safety minded. They took their time with each participant to make sure we felt comfortable. The dive spot was very lively and full of beautiful fish. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in seeing the natural beauty of the ocean on Crete.

  • Fantastic first scuba dive experience!

    What an incredible experience! From the start we felt like we were in safe hands. A transfer from our hotel in the Chania area was included, which made getting to the meeting point super easy. A big thank you to Christina for organising this! All of the instructors were so helpful and patient, which was perfect for us as newbie divers. They explained everything very clearly, and helped to calm any nerves we had. We went to two locations and had a lot of fun exploring the clear waters and practicing some safety skills. At the end of the experience, we enjoyed some water and snacks before returning to the port. Many thanks to the whole team at Chania Diving Centre, I couldn’t recommend this experience enough!!

    Absolutely amazing! This family-owned scuba and snorkeling business makes you feel welcome the moment you step on board. Safety is clearly their top priority, but so is creating a fun, engaging, and informative experience. Jarred, the lead instructor, along with Andreas and Eleni, made for an unforgettable morning on the water. Whether you’re brand new to scuba or experienced, they meet you exactly where you are. We visited two stunning sites—one for snorkeling and another for scuba diving—both breathtaking in their own way. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, look no further

    Great tour guides and well organised. Pickup in chania port worked well and everything from the explanation to getting the scuba suit went smoothly! The dive went well, pictures were taken and we had a lot of fun. Snorkelling at the second spot was also good. Only thing is maybe to tell everyone to Download the ssi app before you arrive to the tour so you don't have the hassle at the port and can fill everything out calmly in advance

    Went with my brother and considering we have never scuba dived, they were extremely helpful and very good at teaching us the basics. Always made sure we were comfortable and had so much fun!
