Crete Shore Dives: Two Guided Dives from Myrthianos Plakias with 30m Visibility | Scuba | Water Activities

Head out from Myrthianos Plakias, Crete, and spend a full day beneath glassy blue water where drop-offs, gorges, and rocky ridges create an underwater landscape that feels as varied as the island itself. This six-diver, small-group trip from Dive2gether Crete pairs two guided shore dives with shore-side comforts: a beach taverna lunch, easy gear staging, and the chance to buy photos your guide captures. Visibility here routinely reaches 30 meters, turning every dive into a wide-angle theater of life on limestone and schist ledges, sandy basins, and sculpted caves. Expect dramatic topography — sheer walls that tumble into blue, narrow gorges that funnel schools of fish, and rocky outcrops where moray eels and groupers hide. The water is calm most days, which makes gear donning and entry simple and gives new and returning divers more time to focus on buoyancy and composition. Your day starts at the Dive2gether Crete meeting point, where staff fit rental gear if needed, offer refreshments, and run a concise safety briefing. Transport to the shore is included if you need a lift; otherwise free parking is available. Each dive lasts roughly 45–60 minutes with surface intervals long enough for a relaxed lunch at a beach taverna (not included). Air and weights are provided; photos shot by your guide can be purchased after the trip. This trip stands out for its combination of accessibility and variety. Shore diving keeps the logistics simple — no boat schedules — while the underwater terrain rivals boat-access sites. The small group size lets guides tailor pacing, point out micro-life like nudibranchs, and escort less experienced divers along gentle ledges and shallower gorges. Minimum age is 10, and divers must hold a valid certification and meet medical fitness requirements. Practical details matter: pack a logbook, certification card, sun protection, and a towel. Rental BCDs, regulators, suits, computers, and full photography sets are available as extras. If weather allows, staff can upgrade you to a boat dive for a different perspective on the same reefs. For travelers, the rhythm of sea, lunch at a shore taverna, and the slow reveal of underwater canyons make this a rounded Crete day — equally rewarding for photographers, confident beginners, and seasoned divers seeking clear water and complex terrain. It’s a precise, personable way to see Crete’s underwater geology without the crowds, with guides who know where the life concentrates and how to show it safely. Bring your certification card and completed medical form; staff will review paperwork on arrival. The operator supplies air and weights, and full equipment rental is available for an extra fee; guide photos are offered for purchase at 20 € after the trip. Reserve early; groups are limited to six divers for personalized attention only.
