Dive-site story
Located off the coast of northern Crete near Agia Pelagia, this rocky reef dive centers around a massive historic anchor encrusted with marine growth and wedged firmly into the seabed. The surrounding topography features rocky ledges, small swim-throughs, and scattered boulders sloping down to sandy patches. Clear Mediterranean waters make exploring the crevices rewarding for spotters of cryptic critters.
