Why dive here
Sugar hill wreck is a wreck dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sugar Hill wreck in Crete offers a straightforward dive, great for those looking to explore a piece of history without deep-diving expertise. We found it a calm site, often sheltered, making for relaxed bottom times as you navigate the hull and superstructure. Keep an eye out for resident groupers peering from shadowy nooks, and we’ve often spotted moray eels tucked into the collapsed sections. It’s a good choice for newer wreck divers keen to practice their buoyancy over an interesting artificial reef.
