Our wreck dive fell into the water due to the poor visibility but the dive to the elephant’s cave made it all right again. Very special. Great service, everything top arranged, good explanations and relaxed guides!
Chania Diving Center is very professional, reliable and friendly. They have good quality gear and it is well maintained. Communication is easy and quick from start to finish, and they even consider extra gear requests! The guides and instructors are competent and prioritise the safety of all divers while still having fun! I can 100% recommend them and I will definitely dive with them again next time in Chania.
Our dive master was a fearless, bad ass South African waterpolo player and open water swimmer! He was a very knowledgeable and safe diver! Loved every minute
Picked a small boat from St Onoufrios. It may not have been particularly impressive, but it was satisfactory. After receiving a thorough briefing and equipping ourselves, the boat transported us to the nearby cave location. It was truly a delightful experience. The views were breathtaking, and the two lead divers were attentive and excellent in their roles. We completed two dives; the second dive took us down a shaft that descended from 6 to 17 meters. Although we were presented with alternatives, I chose to proceed, and it was worth every moment. This led to a spectacular view of a vibrant seabed. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the lead divers for making my holiday an unforgettable experience.
I did 4 dives with the centre and they were all very well ornganised from booking, to pick up from the hotel to the trips themselves then back to the hotel. I did 2 dives on one day then returned the following week for another 2 dives. The second trip my wife came as a snorkeller and as she was the only one had a 'personal' guide who she said was excellent and really put het at ease. The dive briefings were very good and detailed so we knew exactly what we were doing. I would highly recomend and will defintely use again when I return to Crete.
AWESOME AWESOME AAAAAWWESOME... from start to finish. Thank you to all involved from Christina with office contact, courtesy pick up and return, boat Captain, Instructor/guide and equipment used. Price good with cash discount. Best part of visit to Chania. I look very forward to next trip and another adventure.
Well organized diving both as programming and as diving. Kind and very professional, I found myself very well with Jared and Andrea. Highly recommended!!

An awesome dive with a great crew. Very accommodating guys. Visibility was exceptional and the dive was as good as advertised.
We booked 2 dives for the same day. Elephant Cave & the wartime Wreck. The Elephant Cave is absolutely wonderful & magical the Stalignites and Stalignites are awesome. Jared the master diver was fantastic & very knowledgeable about the dive site's he is also very conscious of people's safety whilst diving thus we all had a full briefing on the safety of diving & responsibilities for each other. Alexandros his buddy was also amazing. Thanks to Spiros for collecting us from the hotel and also a safe return.👌🙏🤿
