if you visit Chania, this diving company is one you definitely need to try - Jared was our instructor, for me and my wife, we both had the most amazing time in and out of the water, Jared made us feel so comfortable and he is very knowledgeable about diving. We Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to take us out for our first dive. this has been the highlight of our time in Greece. this is definitely something everybody needs to try… we both felt safe and was taught all the basic skills to keep safe underwater. the feeling of breathing and seeing all the fish in the water is amazing, We did have second thoughts before arriving but once we met Jared we knew that we made the right choice! if your reading this review then don’t think twice about using this company for a dive as it was 10/10 %100 amazing and I would certainly do this many times over again! Jared, many thanks from me and my wife for this amazing experience. Chania diving is the best

BEST DIVING CENTER in CHANIA! - While I did not actually book or experience anyhing through Chania Diving Center due to some unforseen circumstances that came up, I wanted to at least mention Christina at the front desk who I met as I was on my way to dinner. I'm a brand new Padi certified rookie diver and this would've been my first scuba experience. Christina provided all the necessary info, was very friendly and welcoming, and eased my obvious worries and nervousness as I clearly was hesitant to try my first dive away from the USA. I almost went but had to cancel last minute and she was MORE than accomodating and understanding about why I could not join. Christina if you read this, thanks yet again for your outstanding service! When I come back, I hope you're still there and will definitely book a scuba dive through you guys.

Fantastic Experience! - Thank you so much to the Chania Diving Centre for such a fantastic experience, our family of 5 had so much fun. The dive was so well organised & the instructors were brilliant, they really helped & supported us as this was our first time trying Scuba Diving. So pleased we signed up to this & having photos taken to capture our experience made it even better

GREAT adventure! Loved it! - We had a cruise ship stop in Chania, and I booked this for my husband and son (I am already scuba certified) because they wanted to see if they liked scuba diving enough to want to get certified. This tour company picked them right up from the dock where our cruise ship docked and returned them too. My son and husband had a fabulous time, and my 18 year old son said it was his favorite tour/adventure that we did on this trip to Italy/Greece. Highly recommend.

Wonderful scuba diving experience - Amazing afternoon. Our instructor was very nice but also have us clear and detailed explanations before diving. We felt safe all the way. We had the opportunity to also do snorkeling for free! The staff was also very patient with us afterwards, when they had to send over the pictures several time because I didn't receive them. All in all a wonderful experience.

Great for beginner scaries - My teenage niece suffered from a strong case of beginner scaries, and hesitated to sign up the day before. This was only until she talked to the coordinator at the desk, who explained the detailed process of intermediate checks the seasoned instructors follow to establish a comfort level before venturing a small distance deeper during the dive, and then they frequently repeat the comfort check. This enabled my niece to sign up, but the next day (right before the dive), the scaries came back. Fortunately, the diver, loanna, was not only an expert, she was convincing that this is truly worthwhile, and there's no worry about dangers. My niece felt comfortable and indulged in the short training with loanna. Loanna guided us very effectively, starting with shallow depths and gradually moving deeper, checking very frequently for potential issues during the dive. Surprisingly, my niece found it even more relaxing than our prior snorkeling experience. We maneuvered through a depth of 5 meters and explored the ocean floor. The expertise, careful interaction with us and control of the equipment by our diver truly enhanced our first diving experience. Highly recommend for first timers, esp teens.
