Six Days of Fun Diving in Plakias: 12 Dives with Dive2gether Crete

On Crete’s south coast in the small bay of Myrthianos Plakias, Dive2gether Crete runs an efficient six-day diving program that stacks twelve shore and optional boat dives into clear-water mornings and relaxed beachside afternoons. The operation centers at a compact dive base called Dive2gether Crete where guests meet, fit gear and head to nearby drop-offs, gorges and rocky formations that define this coastline. Visibility often reaches 30 metres, which turns each descent into a cinematic swim through layered rock walls, ledges and tunnels lined by sponges and fans.

The itinerary is simple and repeatable: morning surface briefings, a 45–60 minute guided dive, a taverna lunch on the sand, then a second afternoon dive before returning to rinse gear and review photos. Small groups—typically six divers—mean the guides can point out local highlights: dramatic vertical walls, swim-throughs and pockets where groupers, amberjacks and octopus hide. Those drop-offs are primarily limestone and schistled shelves, sculpted by wave action into sheer edges and narrow gullies that channel schools of wrasse and damsel fish.

What makes this program stand out is the intimacy of the experience: transport to the beach is included, gear rental and tanks are handled on site, and the pace leaves room to rest between dives. The shore-based format means easy shore entries from pebble beaches with free parking; participants can opt to upgrade to boat dives through the dive center when conditions and availability allow. Guides photograph dives; images are available for purchase at the end of the day.

Practical essentials: divers must hold certification and be medically fit; the trip welcomes ages ten to seventy-five and asks you to arrive early for prompt starts. Bring your logbook, certification card and a sun-ready kit for the taverna breaks—sunscreen, towel and a light shirt. Lunch is at your own expense and often the best way to sample locally caught fish after morning depths.

This is an ideal program for certified divers who want repetitive dives to refine buoyancy, practice underwater navigation, or simply rack up hours in warm, clear Mediterranean water. It’s also an easy choice for small groups and families looking for structured days, reliable visibility and friendly local guides who know the reefs and rock formations intimately. For visitors based in Plakias the operation feels like a local institution—efficient, relaxed and focused on getting you back into the water safely and often.

Book early during summer for the best slot times, or choose quieter shoulder seasons for fewer boats and even clearer water; briefings are multilingual and the staff accommodate skill-building plans—expect patient instruction, shore transitions, and post-dive gear care that keeps your focus on exploring crevice systems, schools of fish and the ray slipping past the blue.
