  • Night Diving

    Diving at night is a whole new experience, as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge.

    While diving at night you can discover a different side of our underwater world. Explore a new, exciting underwater environment, as many marine animals are nocturnal.

    Bali is the dive site we have chosen for this exciting and amazing experience, its protected bay allows us to admire with safety the nocturnal marine life that “comes out” during the hours of darkness, such as: Octopus, Lobster, Morey, and many others.

    Night diving definitely changes the way we see marine life.

    The experience and calmness of night diving cannot be compared with any other form of scuba diving. It is completely different. Dive slowly at night and you will find it exciting and relaxing at the same time.

    Night diving can be a breathtaking and fascinating act. So what is stopping you? Contact us for more information or bookings.

    THE ELEPHANT CAVE – best dive site in Crete

    Our diamond, and unique dive site is the amazing “Elephant Cave”. Since operating the dive center, this dive site has been rated from experienced divers from all around the globe as one of their top 10 best dive sites around the world.
    The submarine Cave of Elephants is located in Drepano area of Akrotiri, in Chania prefecture and out of Souda Bay.
    For this dive site, we gather up in our dive center no2 located in Georgioupolis, right in front of the Kalivaki beach.


    History of the Elephant cave:

    A cavern of stunning beauty was the last home of a group of rare elephants that lived in Vamos, thousands of years ago. When the sea level rose, an unsurpassable wall of water blocked the access to this stunning natural monument, protecting it from man’s destructive interference.

    A series of incredible coincidences and games of fate had to happen for the cave to be discovered and explored, in year 2000. It was accidentally discovered by a local fisher during underwater fishing.

    Stunning combinations of white and red stalagmites and stalactites cast a spell to every diver been there. It was a unique discovery, as the laboratory and the scientific announcements that followed, have proved. The elephant of the cave had characteristics that have not been found anywhere else. And so scientist gave it the name “Elephas Chaniensis”.

    After detailed search, all of the bones that were not stuck to the caver’s floor were taken to department of Historic Geology and Paleontology of the University of Athens. As it was proven the fossils bones belonged to elephants and deer.  Taking under consideration the data collected, the age of the Cretan Elephant estimate somewhere between 50.000 and 60.000 years  old.


    Elephant cave

    DESCRIPTION

    The caverns entrance is 3,5 to 10 metres deep and is about 9 metres wide. Dark and mysterious, it is only a few metres away from the – vertical at this point- seashore.

    THE CEILING

    Emerges from the water, 40 metres away from the caver’s entrance. It’s highest point is 13 metres above the surface.

    THE STATIGRAPHY

    The upper layer consists mostly of dwarf deer and micro mammals. In the underlying layers we find Elephas Chaniensis and normal deer bones. Two molars attached to the cave floor, 3m below water surface

    THE BOTTOM

    Its entire surface is covered by water. The depth ranges from a few centimetres to 4m.

    THE DIMENSIONS

    The main cave chamber is 120m long and its average width is 25m. The caves overall length is 160m long.

    THE COLOR RED

    Gorgeous white and red formations decorate the ceiling and floor.
    The red stalagmites owe their colour to the amount of aluminium and iron oxide contained in the caverns stratum.
