Operated by Dive2gether Crete · Myrthianos Plakias
Where the southern coast of Crete curves into a sheltered bay, the shore at Myrthianos Plakias offers an uncomplicated, high-quality day of scuba diving with Dive2gether Crete. This full-day trip runs about eight hours and centers on two shore dives through clear water, towering rocky formations, abrupt drop-offs and narrow gorges that channel blue Mediterranean light. With typical visibility up to 30 meters, the seascape reads like a 3-D map of caves, ledges and boulder fields where wrasse, groupers and octopus slip between crevices. You’ll meet at Dive2gether Crete to kit up, accept a safety briefing and then travel a short distance to free-parking beaches or, if you prefer, ride with the guides. The first dive usually lasts 45–60 minutes; after surfacing, the group strolls to a beachside taverna for a relaxed lunch (not included). A second afternoon dive follows on a fresh tank, then a final gear wash at the dive center and an optional browse of guide photographs available for purchase. What makes this operator a local standout is the combination of small groups (max six divers), calm seas suited to newer certified divers and shore access to varied terrain. The rock here is limestone with sharp ledges and dramatic drop-offs carved by coastal processes over millennia; pockets of Posidonia oceanica seagrass and spiky gorgonians add color and habitat for juvenile fish. Guides emphasize conservative buoyancy near delicate life, so even experienced divers find a mindful, skill-focused trip. Practical notes: certification and a logbook are required; all divers must complete medical paperwork and comply with pregnancy restrictions. Transport to the beach is self-drive with free parking, or the center can provide rides. Included are air and weights; full equipment rental and photo packages are optional extras. If boat diving is preferable, upgrades may be available on the day depending on conditions. Beyond the water, Plakias is a compact coastal village where fishermen’s tavernas serve fresh catch and the coastline’s rugged geology continues above sea level for short cliff walks. The operation’s small-group ethos supports low-impact diving—keep distance from fragile beds and pack out any single-use waste. For divers seeking clear visibility, accessible shore entries and a humane instructor-to-student ratio, this day of two dives at Myrthianos Plakias is an efficient, scenic way to experience southern Crete’s underwater canyons. Minimum age is 10 and the centre accepts divers up to about 75; good general fitness is expected and all participants complete a medical form at booking. After diving, guides will show the day’s images—full sets cost 20 €—and staff can provide a full rental kit (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, computer). Small groups let guides tailor briefings to skill level, so the trip suits beginners, seasoned divers and family groups too.
