Experience summary

Try scuba diving for the first time with our beginner-friendly program in Crete! Learn the basics through a short theory session, pool practice, and a fun shore dive, no experience needed. Start off with a 20-minute video and a relaxed oral briefing to get familiar with how scuba diving works. Then head to the equipment room to get fitted with your gear. Next, you’ll jump into the pool to practice a few key skills, like clearing your mask and getting used to breathing underwater, all in a calm, safe environment. Once you're feeling confident, it's time for the real adventure: your first dive in the sea! Enjoy the peaceful, weightless feeling as you explore the clear waters of the Cretan Sea with your instructors right by your side. Enjoy the weightlessness of diving while discovering the local marine life! This program runs every day (except Sundays) at our Diving Center, located inside the Nana Golden Beach Hotel. We start at 9:30 AM and finish around 12:00–12:30 PM.
