Why dive here
Aspronisi 1 is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Aspronisi 1 offers a straightforward dive in the waters off Crete. Expect typical Mediterranean reef topography, with rocky slopes and small caves that provide shelter for groupers and moray eels. It’s a decent spot for a relaxed exploratory dive, particularly if you’re looking for a quieter area away from the more popular sites. We’d suggest it for divers who appreciate simple, uncrowded conditions.
