The Island

The Island is a beginner-friendly dive near Agia Pelagia on Crete's north coast, centered around a small rocky islet just offshore. The islet's underwater flanks create a sheltered diving area with gentle slopes, scattered boulders, and sandy channels. Divers can circumnavigate the island in a single dive, exploring different aspects and habitats along the way. Marine life is pleasantly diverse: wrasse, damselfish, and sea bream on the reef, octopus among the rocks, and Posidonia beds hosting seahorses. The islet provides natural protection from waves, ensuring calm conditions. A versatile dive site that offers something different on each visit depending on your chosen route around the island.
