HMS Greyhound

Diving the HMS Greyhound off Crete isn't your average Mediterranean wreck dive. This isn't just a pile of metal; it's a destroyer, sunk in 1941, and what a story it tells. We love how the hull is broken, with sections scattered, which makes for really interesting exploration. You might spot a barracuda schooling over a gun turret, or a shy octopus tucked into a crevice, but the main draw here is the structure itself. The stern, in particular, is a favourite of ours. It's largely intact and you can still make out the torpedo tubes, which always gives us a shiver. Visibility here can be stunning, often stretching to 30 meters, letting you appreciate the sheer scale of the wreck as you descend. It's a site that rewards multiple dives, each one revealing a new detail. We'd suggest going with a guide who knows the history; it brings the whole experience to life when you know exactly what you're looking at. This isn't a site for beginners; some of the deeper sections and potential currents mean you'll want to be comfortable with your buoyancy. It's a proper wreck dive, full of history and a real sense of adventure.
