Candia Housereef

Candia Housereef is an ultra-shallow beginner dive site near Heraklion, Crete, reaching only 6 meters depth. This accessible shore dive features a compact reef ecosystem with surprising diversity for its size. Rocky substrate hosts blennies, gobies, and small wrasse, while sea cucumbers and starfish inhabit the sandy areas. The extremely shallow depth and calm conditions make it ideal for try-dives, snorkeling, and underwater photography training just steps from the beach.
