Try scuba in Crete at Mononaftis Beach, with a certified instructor, 45-minute underwater session, equipment, insurance, and optional pickup.

“The pros: The guides were super helpful and took safety very seriously. It was a great first experience and we really enjoyed it! The cons: Although the activity was done by 11:30, we still had to wait until 2 pm for the return to the hotel, which was fine, because the beach was really nice, but we didn’t came prepared, so it would have been nice known this in advance (or to be taken back to the hotel earlier) Also, it’s cheaper to purchase the pictures in cash - but we didn’t bring any as we were not told this in advance, so just be aware if you are booking…”

4.Scuba Diving for Beginners

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 148 reviews · from $112

Try scuba in Crete with a patient instructor, hotel pickup from Chania, an 8-meter underwater session, equipment, insurance, and free photos.

“The experience was very nice. It's just like snorkeling but in the water not at the surface. The instructors were nice and relaxed and polite, especially ours (Freya) wich was amazing and encouraging. I would say it is worthwhile and a must do at least once. You can always go to the surface in seconds so you don't feel any danger, always light, always others, you can always see the bottom. Definitely worth the price.”
