Operated by Dive2gether Crete · Myrthianos Plakias
On the south coast of Crete at Myrthianos Plakias, Dive2gether Crete runs a full day twin dive trip that highlights the dramatic underwater topography of the area. You meet at the Dive2gether Crete center and receive a gear fit and safety briefing before a short transfer to a nearby beach where the dives begin. Groups are limited to six divers which keeps briefings personal and the entry and exit from the water calm and efficient.
Each day includes two shore dives with about forty five to sixty minutes of bottom time on each dive. The south facing rock formations produce drop offs gorges and sculpted ledges that hold an unusually clear view in many seasons. Visibility commonly reaches thirty meters so light penetrates deep and photographers find long sight lines and striking compositions.
The sea floor alternates between rocky reefs and meadows of Posidonia oceanica which support local marine life. Divers commonly encounter octopus moving between boulders nudibranchs on encrusted rock and small groupers sheltering in cracks. The variety is not overwhelming but it is consistent and educational which makes this a good option for intermediate certified divers and for families with older children who meet the minimum age of ten.
Lunch is not included but the schedule leaves time for a relaxed meal at a beach taverna where fishermen and local staff share practical knowledge about currents seasons and safe dive sites. After the second dive the group returns to the center to wash gear and review photos the guide may offer for sale.
Practical details matter on this trip. Air and weights are included in the base package and full equipment rental is available for divers who need it. Divers must present certification and a logbook and be medically fit to dive. Guests who prefer a boat launch can often upgrade on site subject to availability. The duration is about eight hours from meeting to finish and the small group size means more surface interval comfort and better attention from guides.
