Skinnaria Wall Diving - Crete, Greece

Skinaria Wall is a beginner-friendly wall dive off Skinaria Beach on the south coast of Crete, one of the most popular dive sites in the Plakias area. The gentle wall descends from shallow water along a rocky reef adorned with sponges, sea cucumbers, and Mediterranean soft corals. The crystal-clear waters of Skinaria are renowned for their exceptional visibility, often exceeding 30 meters. The reef supports healthy populations of damselfish, wrasse, sea bream, and octopuses, with larger groupers in the deeper sections. The easy entry from the pebbly beach and gradual depth increase make it ideal for training and discovery dives. Skinaria Wall is widely considered one of the finest beginner dive sites on Crete.
