Scuba Diving – from Rethymnon

4.7/5
50 reviews

You're in just the right place if you fancy trying out scuba diving or making the most of your diving qualifications. Crete's warm waters and fascinating underwater world will leave you wanting more during one of these guided scuba dives or snorkelling – the choice is yours.

And Rethymnon's location on the north coast of Crete is the perfect place to explore under the waves. You'll be surrounded by dive spots that feature the likes of rocky reefs and a plethora of marine life, darting around stone formations. But what also makes Crete an ideal spot to don a mask, air tank and flippers is its clear and mild water.

You can choose a beginner's dive led by qualified instructors who'll talk you through every step so you'll confidently breathe beneath the waves. Alternatively, if you only want to dip your toes in the water, there's also a snorkelling trip available.

Discover Scuba Diving (Ages 10+)
Perfect for beginners, this fun and safe experience starts with a short theory lesson, followed by practice in shallow water. Then, enjoy a real dive in the open sea (max 12m), always guided by certified PADI instructors. Includes full gear and a 2:1 guest-to-instructor ratio.

Discover Snorkeling (Ages 6+)
A full-day snorkeling adventure, including an introductory course and a guided tour of the bay. Equipment is provided for the day, with an optional second tour in the afternoon.

Bubblemaker (Ages 8+)
A fun way for kids to try diving! Includes a short lesson, shallow water practice, and a 2m sea dive under constant instructor supervision.

    Op de site van tui staat dat je moet betalen voor de uitrusting. O.a. voor de snorkel, het masker,de flippers en het wetsuit. Maar dit blijkt niet te kloppen. Deze uitrusting zit gewoon bij de prijs inbegrepen. Het zou anderen ervan kunnen weerhouden om deze experience te boeken op deze manier. Zelfs de eigenaar van de zaak heeft dit al meerdere malen gemeld maar het word niet aangepast. Dit heb ik ook gemeld aan de reisleiding die in het hotel aanwezig is.

    Wir warn zum ersten mal tauchen, und ich muss sagen es war top. Anfangs hat die angst uns zwar überkommen aber unser guide war wirklich toll und hat uns die angst genommen. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und wir wurden dauerhaft beobachtet damit wir keine probleme spühren. Was wir auch ganz toll fanden war dass das wetter eher windig war und unsere guides so lieb warn mit uns an den süden zu fahren um dort zu tauchen, statt es ausfallen zu lassen (warn dann noch 40 min extra fahrt für sie)

    Enligt TUI skulle vi få åka katamaranbåt ut och snorkla, sen stanna till på en strand och sen få åka tillbaka med båten. Någon båt fanns inte för snorkling, tvärt om fick vi snorkla på en stenig strand. Vi provade att bada efter snorklingen, men vid själva badet fanns det en massa havsbottnarna, så badskor hade varit bra om det rekommenderades!! Utöver avgiften för att få snorkla så kostade all utrustning 5€/per utrustning,, cyklop, snorkel, simfötter och våtdräkt = 20€.

    Für mich war es der Schnupperkurs.Die Einweisung war kompetent und ausführlich. Der Tauchgang wurde von einem erfahrenen Tauchlehrer begleitet.Ich hatte zu keiner Zeit ein unsicheres Gefühl. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis,dass ich bestimmt noch einmal wiederholen werde.

    Die Mitarbeiter waren wahnsinnig nett und haben alles sehr gut und verständlich erklärt (besonders gut auf deutsch). Ich habe mich zu jeder Zeit sicher gefühlt.
