Super club de plongée avec excellent accueil et instructeurs très professionnels ! J’y retourne à chacun de mes passages en Crète ! We booked the first with my dad and my younger sister. Flawlessly amazing. After being picked up and driven to the center, they will give you a contract that makes you responsible for your own mistakes. Then the theory Beginns, it's very informative and the instructor is great. After that you learn how to use the respirator and the finns in the pool. All is supervised and they help you if you have trouble. If the group is out of the pool you will go to the sea and begin the 50 minute dive. The location is great and is one of the most blissful things one can experience. Thank you for the great introduction to the hobby and guidance. If we where to return to the island we will make sure to with you again. Everyone was equally happy with their dive. A lovely venue and very welcoming & diligent staff. The scuba was great for us (beginners) but also caters for more experienced divers. We are really pleased that we booked this. From start to finish, my with Paradise was absolutely outstanding. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about diving, which instantly makes you feel both safe and excited to be in their care. The equipment was in very good condition, maintained and clearly checked with care before each dive. Safety protocols were thorough and reassuring, but explained in a way that felt clear and approachable, even for less experienced divers. What really stood out was the staff’s personal touch. They were patient, attentive, and eager to share their love of the underwater world. Whether it was pointing out hidden marine life during the current and past or giving tips to technique, they went above and beyond to make the memorable. The site was breathtaking—crystal-clear waters, and the unique elephant (with actual bones of elephants) gave us sense of adventure that I’ll never forget. Everything was perfectly organized, from scheduling and transport to the small details that made the day flow seamlessly. Whether you’re a first-time diver or a seasoned pro, I can’t recommend them highly enough. I’ll definitely be coming back for more dives! Auch mit den Kurzen ist man hier willkommen und wird bei Bedarf sogar vom Hotel geholt. Toller Service, coole Location und nettes Team, gerne wieder! Fantastic to Elephant Cave! Had a brilliant to Elephant with Vangelis and his father. They are a super professional and friendly team. The whole was top-notch, from the briefing to the itself. Felt very safe and well looked after. Highly recommended! Ich war das erste Mal außerhalb Deutschlands tauchen und der Tauchgang war gut. Die Ausrüstung ist gut, der Chef spricht gut deutsch und es ist ruhig gelegen an einer wunderschönen Bucht. Hier gibt es auch eine kleine Bar mit Verpflegung und man kann den ganzen Tag bleiben. Es wird sich Zeit genommen und da dies der erst Tauchgang nach der Cmas Prüfung war haben wir noch kurz auf 3 Meter geschaut ob alles ok ist. Komme nächstes Jahr auf jeden Fall wieder. Best in Crete! I did 2 of my 4 in Crete here and I would love to go back there! The equipment was well maintained and the location is great. If your friends don’t dive, they can either relax on the beach (or other close beaches), at the beach bar, or doing snorkelling. The rents scuba, masks and fins for snorkelling. Vangelis is such a wonderful person! He is very relaxed and carrying. He advised me to take less weights despite the other lazy instructors opinions who prefers to overweight us for their own convenience. Taking less weight made my so much more enjoyable. I felt in good hands. I did 2 guided dives. The was my trip highlight. Vangelis shared interesting information with us about the before and during the visit. He made it a wonderful experience. During the first dive, amongst lots of fishes, we saw squids (gorgeous creatures) swimming close to the surface in the sunshine, big blue and red lobsters, and a purple nudibranch! I had an time. Thank you! If you want to scuba in Crete ,this is the you have to choose ! Relaxed and an location! Between the you can relax in the bar below the and have some food . They offer pick up , but recommend to have a car and relax there after . Equipment is brand new and in perfect condition. If your friends are non divers they can rent masks and fins and snorkel around the bay while you dive. They also sell some snorkeling equipment and water shoes . You can also ask about some photos taken during the dive. Highly recommend to request for the Elephant's ! It's a double so take some food with you ☺️ Fantastic with the friendliest staff! We went there at the end of June 2023, and we had different activities with them. We had our family members (10 and 12 years old) to do the "Try out Scuba", and my husband and I did boat for certified divers. When we did a trip to the Elephant Cave, they really took with us when we were inside the cave. They let us enjoy the incredible without any stress. The was absolutely - and they were all so skilled. Normally, the Try Out Scuba is just about getting into the water as soon as possible. But the at Paradise took to do a thorough briefing and gave a whole lesson to our family members. Well done! And apart from the friendly and skilled staff, the had a really convenient location, a great boat and good quality when it came to the equipment - everything was 10/10! We had some wonderful here. We did some as certified divers and our friends tried the discover scuba diving. The communication in advance was well and on-site we had a good time. The highlight is definitly elephant cave, but also in they house bay you can find some nice things. Thank you to the team! Wir haben heute ein Familien-Wohlfühl-Komplettprogramm bekommen. Weil die See etwas Rauh war, sind wir kurzerhand a den Südstrand gefahren. Es war für jeden etwas dabei. Ob Schnorcheln, Schnuppertauchen, oder Tauchen, das Paradise-Dive-Center ist wirklich zu empfehlen. Auf die Kinder Schnuppertauchen) wurde besonders nett eingegangen. Damit war die Angst sofort weg. Mein besonderes Lob gilt meinem Guide (Vangelis). Absolut zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Ausrüstung war gepflegt. Ich hatte meine Kamera vergessen. Da wurde kurzerhand ein Kamertausch mit den Schnuppertauchern gemacht. So kamen wir auch noch an schöne Bilder. Alles in Allem, es war ein gelungener Tauchtag mit dem Paradise Center. Wir haben einige Tauchgänge in unserem Urlaub gemacht und waren begeistert. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit! Such an first at Paradise with Guillaume who could speak French! 🇫🇷 Me and my friend were hesitating with other but we ended up choosing this place without any regrets ! If you are looking for a chill place with really nice people, this is the place to go 🤿 freundlich, super Equipment, coole Tauchgänge. Danke an Vangelis und Alexandra. War klasse, wurde direkt am hotel abgeholt, hatte 2 tauchgänge Vom Boot und man bekommt noch einen dropboxlink mit allen Bildern! Sofort wieder!!!! Die tauchlehrer sind absolut klasse! Just finished a remarkable day with Dennis. My last before today was in Eilat, in 2010!!!! So naturally, I needed a full refresher. Dennis was very thorough, went over the safety rules, signed, equipment and general safety regulations. I managed to feel comfortable, regulate water in mask, a few rusty moments (15 years adds up), but always felt safe both in the first 40 min and the second 50 min dive. We saw plenty of colorful fish, a Lion fish, eels and other unidentified fish. I just can’t wait for my next dive. Bali is an spot. Thank you Dennis and the entire Atlantis crew!!! We did two dives, including Elephant Cave. It was unbelievably cool. We had never done a proper before and it could have been scary, but the guys made us feel so calm and happy the whole way. They told us lots of stories about their own experiences in the with seals and the history of how it was discovered. They pointed out bones of different animals and talked through the evolution of elephants and how the species of elephant found in the is related to African elephants today. It was truly and exceeded our expectations. I don’t want to put a proper picture of the inside of the as it will spoil it, so this is our group in the dark with little torches. We got messes around by another company a found these guys. This was our first doing and what an we had, the instructors were absolutely fantastic, I'd truly recommend this company to anyone. The were all and friendly, in the induction everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, they even had humour. Top company, definitely will be back! 👌👌👌👌 Great first experience. The instructors were very friendly. We got clear instructions before entering the water and we were watched very closely, so we felt safe. Everyone could swim around free, which is quite the challenge for the first 😆 Thanks again for this experience! I was in Rethymno in September 2025. and went to Paradise & quickly booked 4 (Elephant Bay, Elephant Cave, Junker JU 88 A4 & Korakas Tunnel). All 4 was excellent experience❗️ I was amazed‼️🤘🏻🤘🏻 Very professional and friendly instructors Stelios & Vangelis leave the biggest impression❗️💪🏻 I would with them again anytime, anywhere‼️ 🤿 I can truly say that they are my dear friends and mentors❗️ I don't believe you can find better sites in Crete with better instructors and equipment, they are the BEST!!! My warm recommendations from the heart!❤️ See you again! When you are on Crete and are interested in you should definitely go there. Everyone working there is frindly and competend and all of my 7 I did there were great. They even have a nice beach there for those who are just with someone that wants to dive. Fantastic centre. Really fun and relaxed crew. Fast speedboat to the site and we were given plenty of to enjoy the using up the whole tank (50bar safety ofc). Elephant is an incredible location with surfacing inside, and we were given lots of to enjoy the wonder of it inside and to ask questions. I had trouble paying at the end and I was made to feel welcome and unhurried while I had to contact my bank too which was reassuring. Shout out to Vangelis, super cool and very experienced guide I did my open water and advanced open water with paradise centre. The whole was a sheer joy from beginning to end with excellent sites, a fantastic atmosphere, and lots of sea life. I can't imagine the process of learning to could've been better. Meine ersten beiden Tauchgänge im Meer nachdem ich letztes Jahr meinen OWD-Schein gemacht habe und bisher nur im See Erfahrungen sammeln konnte. Ich war zusammen mit meinem Partner und dem Guide tauchen und die beiden Tauchgänge waren super organisiert. Wir haben über TUI im Hotel gebucht und wurden vom Hotel abgeholt und auch wieder zurückgefahren. Der Guide hat gut englisch gesprochen, ist aufmerksam und hat sich viel Zeit genommen. Danke für die beiden Tauchgänge. Viele Grüße Nico und Denise. After in a multitude of places over the years I must say this was one of my best experiences. My inquiry about the and pricing was met with a fast response. There was no problem with pick up (I stayed at kavros beach hotel). The equipment provided was in good condition and maintained by friendly instructors. A welcome addition to the good pricing were photos which I received from my free of charge. From my centres usually charge an additional substantial fee for this kind of service.
