Every year thousands of tourists visit the famous
Samaria gorge. The beauty of this place extends to the underwater area as well and invites exploration, which inspired us to set up a diving center on the south coast of
Crete
.
Our work is organized according to the guidelines of the PADI organization and our activities show regard and respect for the underwater environment. Our team is international. In addition to Greek and German we speak English and French. Although we try to create an informal and relaxed atmosphere the safety and well-being of our guests always comes first.
The rough and wild landscape of
Crete finds its continuation under water. Gorges, caves and rocks, sometimes reaching down to 75 meters are nothing unusual.
The large number of species is highly impressive. Groupers, morays, sliperlobsters and barracudas as well as many other sea inhabitants can be admired. In cooperation with our guests we try to organize and structure diving excursions which respect the marine fauna and flora. Our local area is well known for its crystal clear waters with a visibility of up to 40 meters. The depths are between 10 and 40 meters.
