Why dive here
MILAS is a wreck dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
The wreck of the *Milas* off Crete is a good, easy dive, particularly appealing if you’re into larger wrecks without the depth challenge. This 116-meter motor vessel ran aground back in 1985, and now sits in just ten meters of water. It means you get plenty of bottom time to explore the hull and superstructure, which are still quite intact. We’ve found barracuda often hang around the upper decks, and there are always plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the metalwork. It's a relaxed dive, suitable for almost any certification level, and offers a good sense of scale as you glide over such a large piece of history.
