    Ammoudi Reef on Crete offers a straightforward dive, popular with local dive centres for introductory experiences and refresher courses. The main draw is a shallow reef system, typically staying within 15 metres, with some interesting rock formations. You'll likely spot small Mediterranean fish, perhaps an octopus tucked away, and plenty of nudibranchs if you look closely. It's a comfortable spot for newer divers or those wanting a relaxed dip to shake off the travel rust.
