Why dive here
Christiana is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Christiana, off the coast of Crete, is a relaxed Mediterranean dive. You'll find rocky reefs that drop off gently, with sponges and anemones coloring the ledges. Look for octopus tucked into crevices and schools of damselfish flitting through the shallows. It's a good choice for newer divers or those looking for an easy afternoon in the water.
