Why dive here
Le Grande Bleu is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Grande Bleu, off Crete, offers relaxed Mediterranean diving. You’ll find walls and small caves, home to inquisitive Silver-cheeked Toadfish and the occasional Studded Pufferfish. It's a solid choice for less experienced divers looking for straightforward, pleasant dives rather than dramatic encounters. Visibility is generally good, making for easy navigation around the reef.
