Dive-site story
Located directly off the shoreline within Mirabello Bay, this house reef features gently sloping seabed covered with Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows and rocky limestone formations. The sheltered nature of the cove makes it a frequent training ground and an easy orientation dive site along the northeastern coast of Crete. Small crevices hold typical Mediterranean macro life, while open sand patches reveal buried critters.
