Why dive here
Red Rock is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Red Rock on Crete offers a simple shore dive, great for knocking out a buoyancy check or easing back into the water. It’s a rocky reef, as you’d expect, with some interesting nooks and crannies to explore. We’ve found it’s best for new divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip, with a good chance of spotting some smaller Mediterranean species.
