Seagull island

Seagull Island is a beginner-friendly dive site off eastern Crete near Agios Nikolaos, offering easy shore access around a small rocky islet. The shallow waters feature a charming landscape of boulders, small caves, and sandy patches alive with Mediterranean marine life. Damselfish, wrasse, and parrotfish swim through the sunlit shallows while octopuses hide among the rocks. The site's calm conditions and gentle depths make it an ideal first-dive location with surprisingly rich biodiversity for such an accessible spot.
