Operated by Dive2gether Crete · Myrthianos Plakias
Crete’s southern coast around Myrthianos Plakias offers a rugged, dive-ready stage where shore entries turn into vertical rock gardens and sudden gorges drop into blue. On the "Seven Days of Fun Diving • 14 Dives (Fifth Day)" day trip run by Dive2gether Crete, divers spend eight hours exploring two guided shore dives in waters with up to 30 meters of visibility. The meeting point is Dive2gether Crete in Myrthianos Plakias; groups are intentionally small—six divers maximum—so briefings, gear fits, and in-water attention feel individualized.
The dives focus on dramatic underwater terrain: carved gorges, steep drop-offs, and mixed rocky formations that host dense marine life. Expect to spot wrasse, small groupers, and schools of baitfish weaving through crevices; seasonal blooms of macro life can appear on the rocks. Surface conditions are typically calm, making shore entries straightforward, and visibility that reaches 30 meters lets you plan longer, relaxed swims along contour lines.
A typical day starts with equipment fitting, hot drinks and a brief orientation, then the first dive of 45–60 minutes. After surfacing you’ll head to a nearby beach taverna for a relaxed lunch (lunch not included), then return for a second dive following a fresh tank and a new safety briefing. Transport to the beach and back is included if you need it; free parking is available if you drive yourself. Air and weights are provided, and full equipment rentals are offered for divers who need them.
This trip stands out in Crete because it pairs precise local knowledge with a small-group approach. Dive2gether Crete’s guides know which gullies hold life and how to manage currents around the drop-offs, making these shore dives feel as varied as short boat excursions. The combination of dramatic geology, clear water, and a friendly beach taverna creates a full-day rhythm that suits both intermediate divers and confident beginners (minimum age 10, certification required).
Practical notes: bring your certification card, logbook, swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen and cash for lunch and optional photos (€20 for full set from your guide). Women who are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant should not dive. If you have questions about fitness to dive, contact the operator before booking. For travelers who want a compact, high-visibility Crete dive day rooted in local expertise, this organized two-dive shore trip delivers clarity, variety, and the easy company of a small group.
Open Water certification suffices for these shore dives, but good buoyancy control and comfortable surface skills improve the experience. Advanced divers can extend bottom time within local limits. Paperwork and a medical declaration are required; request rental gear at booking to reserve sizes. Small groups provide more tailored photo opportunities and gentler interactions with reef life.
