Useful info/ FAQs
Beside a great scuba diving or snorkel adventure, our dive center offers also free transfer service from your Hotel or accommodation area around Rethymno & Georgioupolis.
In case you don’t have transportation feel free to contact us to arrange pick up time and meeting point.
After completing your diving tour with us we also offer the transfer back to your Hotel.
Please keep in mind, if you have your own transportation you will be more flexible with time and direct arrival / depart from the dive site, an option that will skip you some time of your holidays.
Greek law doesn’t require a medical statement, like other countries of the EU.
All scuba divers will be given paper forms as soon as they arrive at our dive center. In case of any medical condition, steady medication, long term health issues (such as asthma, ear infections, heart condition, mental situation etc.) or in case of recent operation or hospitalization, a doctor’s permission is required to participate in any diving activity for your own safety.
In case of a medical condition, but no doctors statement, we reserve the right to refuse scuba diving, again for your own safety.
Our dive center located in Rethymno-Platanes, which is nearer to civilization, accepts both, cash & card ( Mastercard, Visa & Maestro (+3% Bank Fees).

Yes, there are sharks in the Mediterranean Sea, though they are never seen, and never come anywhere close to people or shore. They are there, but in ever-decreasing numbers, as they are being fished to extinction, like most of the marine life in the Mediterranean Sea.
The most dangerous “thing” you will see whilst Scuba diving here in Crete with us, will probably be yourself, if you neglect to mention a health issue you might have or not following the instructions.
