Discover Scuba Diving for non-divers

For all those of you who are lured by the deep blue sea, but never have had the opportunity to attempt a close encounter with the underwater magic, here is your chance to discover the excitement of scuba diving, the adventure, the freedom and the serenity of the seas of Crete.

The Discover Scuba Diving program is a program we do twice a day, at 09.30 and then at 12.45, and will take up only three hours of your time. It involves a 30-minute instruction period in the basic principles of diving and the use of the basic equipment required.

This is followed by a dive in our pool or in confined water (shallow water in front of our dive center) where divers practice a few basic diving skills. Then the program involves an Open Water dive to a maximum depth of 10 meters for approximately 45 minutes.

The Discover Scuba – Intro program takes approximately 1 and a half hours, including a 30 minute theory session conducted by one of our professionals.

Then the program involves a Confined Water dive to a maximum depth of 5 meters for approximately 30 minutes.

The Discover Scuba Diving and Discover Scuba – Intro program lets you experience the thrill of diving under the supervision of a PADI/SSI Instructor in ideal conditions.

The Bubblemaker program introduces scuba diving as an activity that allows children to experience the underwater world.

Under close supervision, participants swim around on scuba in shallow confined water up to 3m maximum – just playing. The dive takes place in the bay of Agia Pelagia, just in front of our dive center.
