Chania Snorkeling Trip | From The Boat
Overview
At our premium dive centre, we believe in quality over quantity. That’s why we keep our snorkeling groups small, so every guest gets a more personal and enjoyable experience.
Our guided snorkeling tours are led by experienced instructors who know the waters of Almyrida, Chania, and the surrounding coastline inside out. You'll explore a protected bay with crystal-clear Cretan waters and excellent visibility, making it easy to admire the underwater scenery from the surface.
The bay is home to vibrant marine life, and we even have a special spot where the seabed drops off gently; perfect for viewing both the shallow and deeper underwater landscapes without diving.
Run by two passionate instructors, our centre is built on a love for the sea and a deep knowledge of local marine life. Snorkeling with us isn’t just an activity—it’s a relaxed, immersive experience designed to leave you with lasting memories of Crete’s beautiful underwater world.

What To Expect
With the warm Mediterranean waters ranging from 22°C to 28°C in summer, it’s the perfect environment for a comfortable and relaxed diving experience. Whether you're new to the water or looking to build confidence, our experienced instructors can teach you essential snorkelling and freediving skills, helping you feel safe, relaxed, and in control while you explore.
As you drift over sheltered reefs and rocky outcrops, you'll learn how to identify local fish and coral species and gain a deeper understanding of Crete’s unique marine life. We’ll also share simple, practical tips on how to protect the underwater environment, so you can leave nothing but bubbles behind. This is more than just a snorkeling trip – it’s an immersive marine experience designed to connect you with the sea in a fun, educational, and eco-conscious way.
