Are you the one who loves adrenaline rush, interesting and exciting travel? Then diving in Crete is exactly what you need. The island is washed by 3 seas: Ionian, Aegean and Libyan, which provides great opportunities for this type of activities.
On the island there are several dozen of diving centres that offer lessons for beginners, as well as organize diving for everyone. The most popular destination among divers is the northern part of the island. A lot of centres are concentrated in Malia, Hersonissos, Agios Nikolaos, Souda.

The long coastline provides a lot of interesting places where you can be engaged in this water sport. The reefs and caves, for which Crete has become famous, are the most interesting to explore. Diving provides an opportunity to see the underwater world at a distance of 40 meters deep. During the diving you can see the beauty of the underwater world, meet the exotic inhabitants of the sea, get acquainted with the variety of the plant world.
Another attractive feature that makes diving in Crete popular is the fact that there are many shipwrecks near the island that were defeated during the battles near Crete.

It is enough to undergo instruction and wear special equipment. Accompanied by a qualified instructor, the beginners sink under water to a depth of 5-6 meters, where they can not only study the underwater kingdom, but also take stunning photos.
