Why dive here
The Dome is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Dome in Crete offers a straightforward dive, accessible to most experience levels. We found a large, swim-through cavern, which lives up to the name, with light filtering in from above. Look for scorpionfish tucked into crevices and the occasional moray eel peeking out. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a relaxed cavern dive without strong currents.
