My partner and I went on the tour in late October. It was a great experience, the guides were excellent and instructive and gave us full confidence for our first time. Would definitely do it again and recommend the Chania Diving Centre.

I want to start by saying that we had a fabulous time and that we were really well taken care of by our instructors the entire time - they were both wonderful! We did this in the beginning of October and the water was clear and warm and the dive locations were gorgeous!
But if you think this is going to be Mickey Mouse scuba like at the Great Barrier Rief where they lower you on a platform and give you a rope to avoid compression issues - nope, this is the real deal. You will be suited up, asked to dive backwards in your gear off the boat, and then your instructor will help you lower to the sea floor about 10 meters deep, where you will do "skills" exercises, before starting to explore the dive. We felt totally safe the whole time and our instructors were always right by our sides, literally holding my hand most of the time. It was awesome but it was also very real and a couple of folks in our group had some panic jitters in the beginning.
I think our dive was about half an hour which was just long enough to be able to get used to and enjoy being under water. After, we were taken to a different gorgeous place for another hour of snorkeling. We were also picked up and taken back to our BnB. We're really grateful for the whole experience and are super impressed with the professionalism of the entire team!
So that there's no confusion, this trip is paired with the people who are getting certified but you don't get certified unless you do their full 3 day course and pass the test, so don't book this thinking you're going to get a short cut scuba certification ;).
