The instructor was great & a very nice guy. The transport is a comfortable a/c van a nice drive to a beach & a cute little town. The dive was about 30-40 minutes in about 5 meters of water. Good safety briefing. Wetsuit and equipment provided. Would have liked to have purchased a Tee-shirt commemorating his 1st dive in Crete.
