    CharacterReef dive

    Knossos housereef on Crete offers a simple shore dive, easy to access right from the beach. You'll find a rocky reef sloping gently down, with some small caves and overhangs providing shelter for octopuses and moray eels. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for divers looking to practice skills in calm conditions, with visibility often reaching 20 metres on a good day. We’d suggest it for divers who enjoy exploring at their own pace without strong currents.
