Kakia Skala is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Kakia Skala on Crete is a straightforward shore dive. We usually find it’s best for new divers or those looking for an easy, relaxed dip. The rock formations are interesting, with some small caves and swim-throughs, and you’ll spot octopus, moray eels, and various small reef fish. It’s a good spot to test new gear or just enjoy a quiet hour underwater.
