Dive-site story
Set along the rocky northern coastline of Crete in Agia Pelagia, Mononaftis features a sheltered cove leading out to submerged reefs, scattered boulders, and small swim-throughs. The rocky formations drop gradually onto sand and seagrass patches, providing accessible navigation for training dives as well as deeper exploratory routes toward the outer point.
Rugged rocky topography featuring crevices, swim-throughs, and overhangs
Sheltered entry conditions inside the bay with varied bottom terrain
Frequent encounters with Mediterranean macro critters among rock fissures
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
