It's high time to make some adventurous underwater discoveries! Use your time in Crete to explore the fascinating underwater fauna and flora of Crete's marine universe. Together we go by speed boat to different diving spots where our professional team is ready to all the beauty of the island!
Dive area
We start with an introduction to the gear and then take a speed boat to a beautiful diving spot. Usually, the spot is either Empros Yialo or Drepano.Programme- Meeting & Preparation:
Depending on whether you'll use our hotel pick-up service or not, we'll either meet at your hotel between 8:10 and 8:45 am or at 8:10 am at our school's office in Rethymno. If you arrive by car, parking is widely available nearby. Once there, your instructor will give you a short briefing on the basics of snorkeling, the safety rules and the equipment used. After the briefing, you'll be ready for your snorkeling adventure!
If you wish to use our pick-up service, simply let us know beforehand, and we'll gladly come pick you up from your hotel.

We had to wait an hour before it started, but it was worth the wait. The skipper was super nice, and the boat trip to the two bays was exciting. Unfortunately, we didn't see that many fish, but it was still fun. There were four of us (parents and 8-year-old twins).

It was a truly wonderful snorkeling trip. The team is friendly and welcoming, and they addressed all our needs and questions expertly. We discovered even more amazing underwater scenery than we expected! The pickup was excellent, everything was high quality, and at the end, we were even treated to a pot of freshly brewed coffee. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it.

We had a great snorkeling experience! Everything was well organized and the snorkeling was truly beautiful. The team was friendly, helpful, and made sure we felt at ease. We also loved that they picked us up at the hotel and took us back afterwards. That made the experience extra comfortable. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to snorkel!
