The RIB skims past low limestone cliffs and scattered coves, the Aegean pushing and pulling at the hull as you head for water that feels shockingly clear. Onboard ANAX, a 9‑meter rib with a 300HP engine, you slip out of the harbor and toward small, boat‑only bays where reefs, caves and old wrecks sit just below the surface.
moderate.
5 hours.
Suitable for most active travelers; basic swimming ability and the stamina for several short swims recommended.
No prior experience is required — instructors give a short lesson and guide you during swims; basic comfort in the water is recommended.
Wetsuits are typically not required in summer; check with the operator in spring or fall when water is cooler and they can arrange suits if needed.
Most departures are from the main Heraklion harbor or an agreed pickup near the port; confirm the exact meeting point and pickup options at booking.
Full refund available if cancelled at least 24 hours before departure; trips may be cancelled for bad weather with options to reschedule or refund.
Crete’s coastline holds remnants of millennia of seafaring—from Minoan trade routes to Roman ship traffic—so underwater ruins and scattered amphorae can appear near old anchorages.
Posidonia oceanica meadows are crucial carbon sinks and nursery habitat; avoid kicking or standing on beds and use reef‑safe products to reduce impact.
