At SaltyDescents Dive Center, we organize unforgettable birthday experiences in Chania, Crete, combining snorkeling, Try Scuba, and certified diving — all in one flexible, safe, and memorable event.

Whether you’re celebrating with children, friends, family, or a mixed group with different experience levels, we create birthday adventures that everyone can enjoy.

Why Choose the Sea for Birthday Activities in Chania?

Chania is one of the best places in Crete for sea-based celebrations. With calm bays, warm waters, and excellent visibility, the underwater world offers a unique and exciting setting for birthdays.

Sea-based birthday activities in Chania are:

  • Suitable for kids and adults
  • Ideal for beginners and certified divers
  • Active, social, and memorable
  • A great alternative to traditional parties

Instead of sitting indoors, your group explores the Mediterranean together, creating shared memories that last far longer than a typical birthday celebration.

Birthday Activities in Chania for All Experience Levels

One of the biggest advantages of celebrating with SaltyDescents is flexibility. Your group can choose one activity — or mix several — depending on age, comfort, and experience.

Snorkeling Birthday Experiences

Snorkeling is one of the most popular birthday activities in Chania, especially for children and non-divers.

  • Suitable from around 5 years old
  • Guided in calm, shallow water
  • All equipment provided
  • Ideal for relaxed exploration of marine life

Snorkeling allows everyone to stay close together while enjoying fish, reefs, and crystal-clear water at the surface.

Try Scuba Diving for First-Time Divers (Ages 8+)

Never tried scuba diving before? No problem. A Try Scuba experience is designed specifically for beginners and is perfect for birthday celebrations.

At SaltyDescents Dive Center, we organize unforgettable birthday experiences in the sea — perfect for children, families, and adults. Whether your group prefers snorkeling, trying scuba diving for the first time, or diving as certified divers, we create safe and memorable adventures for every age and experience level.

Certified Diver Birthday Dives

For certified divers, birthdays are a great excuse to explore Chania’s underwater world.

  • Guided dives tailored to certification level
  • Small groups for safety and enjoyment
  • Explore the Elephant Cave, rock formations, Minnewaska Shipwreck and Mediterranean marine life

Certified diver birthday dives can take place alongside snorkeling or Try Scuba activities, making them ideal for mixed groups.

Mixed Birthday Groups: One Celebration, Different Activities

One of the most requested birthday activities in Chania is a mixed group celebration. This allows:

  • Some guests to snorkel
  • Others to try scuba diving
  • Certified divers to enjoy a guided dive

All activities take place during the same event, with guests split into small groups and guided by instructors or dive guides. Everyone meets before and after the water activities, so the celebration stays shared and social.

This option is perfect for families, groups of friends, and birthday celebrations with different ages and comfort levels.
