Shore Dives at Myrthianos Plakias — Two Dives, 30m Visibility with Dive2gether Crete

On Crete's southern shore at Myrthianos Plakias, Dive2gether Crete runs a full-day, two-dive experience that stitches bright blue water, dramatic rocky formations and compact groups into a single, approachable day at sea. The Seven Days of Fun Diving • 14 Dives (Seventh Day) itinerary — booked as a full 8-hour day — focuses on shore-based exploration with the option to upgrade to boat dives. With regular visibility around 30 meters, the dives reveal steep drop-offs, narrow gorges cut into limestone and boulder fields where colorful fish and invertebrates congregate. Expect calm seas that let you linger on a dive 45–60 minutes long and twice the perspective with two dives bookending a relaxed beach taverna lunch. You'll check in at the Dive2gether Crete meeting point where guides fit gear, run safety briefings and review entry procedures. Group size is deliberately small — roughly six divers — so instructors can give personal attention during gear build, descent and navigation. The operator provides air and weights; rental packages add full equipment and dive computers if needed. Bring your certification card and logbook; divers must be medically fit and at least 10 years old to participate. What sets these dives apart is the underwater architecture: rugged rock walls, sudden drop-offs and sculpted gorges that create light and shadow for photographers and habitat for octopus, wrasse and nudibranchs. Shore entries make the trip flexible — free parking at the beach and optional transport from the centre if you don’t have a car — and the nearby taverna showcases seaside Cretan cooking for lunch between dives. Practically, expect an 8-hour day with water, soft drinks and briefing on arrival; lunch and guide photos are extra. If you prefer boat dives, ask on-site about upgrading subject to availability. The center scans a QR confirmation for check-in, so arrive ten minutes early. Women who are pregnant or attempting to conceive should not dive. The small-group format, focus on local dive topography and clear water give both newer and experienced divers a focused, memorable day beneath Crete’s waves. This outing is an ideal choice for certified divers visiting Myrthianos Plakias who want two substantial dives, approachable shore access, and the kind of geological variety that turns a routine dive into a day of discovery. Dive2gether Crete’s combination of local knowledge, safety-first procedures and the island’s clear water makes this one of the region’s most reliable single-day dive experiences. Plan to bring sunscreen, a towel and your dive log; the guide offers photos for purchase (20 €) and full equipment rental on request. If you arrive without a car ask Dive2gether Crete about transport to the beach. This trip balances rugged seascape exploration with approachable logistics for a full day.
