On the southern coast of Crete near the small town of Myrthianos Plakias, Nine Days of Fun Diving • 18 Dives (Fifth Day) is a single day two dive experience run by Dive2gether Crete that delivers crystal clear visibility, varied underwater terrain, and relaxed logistics. The trip launches from accessible shore sites and explores sudden drop offs, narrow gorges, sculpted limestone ledges, and boulder fields where the water commonly clears to around thirty meters. Look for pockets of Posidonia seagrass that shelter groupers and curious octopus along rocky terraces. This eight hour outing runs roughly eight hours and keeps groups intentionally small at around six divers. The schedule is straightforward: check in at Dive2gether Crete for gear fitting, receive a concise safety briefing, complete a shore entry first dive lasting forty five to sixty minutes, return to a beachside taverna for lunch, then head back for a second afternoon dive. After diving the group rinses equipment, reviews images taken by the guide and wraps up without an overnight stay. Practical inclusions and limits are clear. Transport to and from the beach is provided when required. Air and weights are included in the price, while lunch and the guide photos are extra. Divers must be at least ten years old, carry a current scuba certification and logbook, and complete a short medical questionnaire. If you lack gear the school offers full equipment rental including BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins, snorkel and a dive computer. There is an option to upgrade to boat dives subject to availability. What makes this day unique is the combination of reliable visibility, geological variety and attentive small group service. The sites are carved in Cretan limestone so you move between canyon cuts and reef shelves that host encrusting sponges, crustaceans and shoals of colorful bream and wrasse. For divers looking to maximize bottom time without long transfers this is an efficient choice. The tone from staff emphasizes safety and personal attention during gear fitting and briefings so less time is spent on logistics and more time underwater. Good candidates are certified open water divers comfortable with shore entries and basic navigation skills. The day is also well suited to returning divers who want to polish buoyancy or to experienced divers chasing clarity and rock features. Arrive with sun protection for surface intervals and your certification card. If you have questions about medical fitness contact the operator before booking. Staying in Plakias makes the logistics straightforward and allows an easy morning start and afternoon return. Expect calm seas most mornings, occasional surge in winter, and warm sun on the sand during surface intervals; consider buying the guide photos after the second dive to remember underwater spectacular geology.
