Dragon's Nose in Crete offers a pleasant Mediterranean dive, good for knocking off the rust or a relaxed afternoon. We found a few small caves and crevices here, home to some resident moray eels and octopuses tucked away. It's a straightforward site, suitable for newer divers looking to build confidence in calm conditions. Visibility tends to be decent, making it an easy-going entry point to Cretan diving.
