Before the course, you will be expected to complete the theoretical part via e-Learning at home. On the first day of the course, 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. We'll then all be at 9 am at our beach base at Kalivaki beach. If you arrive by car, parking is widely available nearby. Once there, your instructor will give you a short briefing on the basics of diving, the safety rules and the equipment used. After the briefing, you'll be ready for your diving 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.

Very nice and uncomplicated atmosphere. Everything was explained very well to my 15 year old daughter. She felt very safe and comfortable. She was picked up on time every day. English, Greek and German are spoken.
