Why dive here
Pleora is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Pleora offers a straightforward Mediterranean dive, a good pick for those newer to diving or anyone looking for a relaxed time underwater. The rocky reef here is home to plenty of smaller fish, like damselfish and wrasse, darting in and out of the crevices. You'll likely spot moray eels tucked away and maybe an octopus or two if you're patient. It’s a solid choice for a pleasant, undemanding dive in Crete.
