On the southern coast of Crete, at Myrthianos Plakias, Ten Days of Fun Diving • 20 Dives (Eight Day) runs through some of the island’s clearest water and most varied shorelines. Meeting at Dive2gether Crete, this full-day experience sends small groups out to explore drop‑offs, gorges and sculpted rocky formations that plunge into blue with visibility up to 30 meters. You make two guided dives each day, each lasting about 45–60 minutes, with a relaxed beach taverna lunch between them and time to rinse gear afterward.
Beneath the surface, the terrain reads like a mountain range turned vertical: ledges, swim‑throughs and vertical walls that catch light and life. Expect dense wrasse and damselfish in shallows, larger residents such as groupers and conger eels around deeper cuts, and the occasional octopus unrolling from a crevice. The calm seas and long sightlines make this ideal for photographers and divers who want steady buoyancy practice, and the dive guides keep groups to six so the water feels quiet and personal.
The itinerary is straightforward: check in at Dive2gether Crete, kit up, get a safety briefing, then drive or ride to the chosen shore site (transport provided if needed). After the first dive, you’ll dry off and walk to the beach taverna for a simple, fresh lunch at your own cost, then return for a second dive and a gear wash at the center. Air and weights are included; full equipment rental and underwater photos are optional extras.
What makes this program stand out for the Plakias area is the combination of accessible shore entries and dramatic underwater topography within minutes of shore. For divers who want variety without long boat runs, the region’s rocky coastline offers the same dramatic drop‑offs and marine life that normally require a day at sea. The small groups and local guides connect the dives to Crete’s living coastal culture—tavernas, clear water, and a centuries‑old relationship to the sea that shows in the rhythms of local fishing and hospitality.
This trip suits certified divers aged ten and up who are comfortable with repetitive dives and basic navigation underwater. If you’re chasing visibility, uncommon topography and an easy shore‑to‑shore rhythm capped by a seaside taverna meal, this is a Crete dive day designed to introduce you to the island’s underwater terrain without fuss.
Check-in is prompt—arrive a few minutes early with your certification and logbook—staff scan a QR code from your confirmation.
