Why dive here
Jimmy s Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Jimmy's Reef offers a straightforward dive on Crete's coast. The reef itself is largely rock formations, typical for the Mediterranean, with scattered patches of hard coral and sponges. We've seen moray eels tucked into crevices and small schools of damselfish flitting about. It's a relaxed spot, probably best for those looking for an easy second dive or divers new to the area.
