Why take this tour?

Just four nautical miles east of Chania’s harbor lies Agios Onoufrios, a breathtaking rocky dive site with crystal-clear turquoise waters and visibility up to 30 meters. This location offers a variety of diving options, but its true highlight is cave and cavern diving. Divers can explore stunning passageways, chambers, and vibrant pink coral, making it one of Chania’s most famous dive sites. Depths range from 9 to 21 meters, and additional options include wall diving, deep diving, night diving, multi-level diving, and drift diving.

You will be picked up from your hotel or a designated meeting point. After completing the required paperwork, you’ll gear up with a dive suit, mask, fins, and a second tank, ready for use on the boat. Following a safety briefing with your dive escort, you’ll check your equipment and board a speedboat for a 20–25 minute ride to the dive site. After your dive, we’ll return to the dive center and arrange transport back to your pickup location.
