Ten Days of Fun Diving • 20 Dives (Fifth Day) is an eight‑hour shore‑based dive experience run from Dive2gether Crete in Myrthianos Plakias, Greece. You meet at the small centre before being fitted and briefed, then head to reefs that fall away into blue with 30‑meter visibility. Underwater the landscape is raw: jagged limestone ledges, narrow gorges cut into the coast and steep drop‑offs that tumble into the depths. Rock pinnacles and overhangs create corridors where rays, groupers and amberjacks patrol; moray eels tuck into crevices and octopus rearrange pebbles as they forage. Posidonia seagrass beds sheet the sandy flats in the shallows, filtering light into the clearer channels below. Above water, the shoreline is a patchwork of small beaches and a seaside taverna where lunch after the first dive is a ritual. What makes this day special is how the local geometry turns routine dives into small discoveries. Guided in groups of six, the team keeps the pace relaxed, emphasizing safety and close attention to buoyancy and navigation. The schedule pairs two immersive 45–60 minute dives with time to warm up, dry off and eat at the beach taverna; transport to the dive site is included if you need it. Guides take photos you can buy at the end of the day so you can focus on the moment, not the camera. This operation is a singular part of the Plakias recreation scene because it combines shore access, calm seas and extraordinary visibility—conditions that are not universal across Crete. For photographers and new advanced divers, the rocky formations and small gorges offer sheltered corridors that behave differently on each dive. Shore dives also keep the day flexible: if the sea state calls for it, you can upgrade to boat dives through the dive school. Practicalities: bring your scuba certification, logbook and a swimsuit; the shop provides air and weights and offers full equipment rental. Everyone fills out a medical form and must meet fitness guidelines; the minimum age is 10. Arrive ten minutes early to check in with the QR code you receive. This is a day for methodical explorers who prefer measured, high‑visibility diving in a small‑group setting. Expect to surface with new species in your logbook, a full tank of easy memories and the scent of grilled fish from the beach taverna—Crete’s coastline is both classroom and relative of the sea, with a living shore that rewards repeat visits. The group size is capped at six, keeping attention personal; air and weights are included, and shore parking is free when you drive yourself. Guides can sell the full set of photos for 20 € at the end of the day—an easy way to keep dive memories daily.
