Why dive here
Thirasia 1 is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Thirasia 1, off the coast of Crete, presents a solid Mediterranean dive. Expect the typical rocky reef architecture, home to wrasse, sea bream, and occasional octopus tucked into crevices. It's a decent spot for knocking out a couple of easy dives, particularly if you're looking for relaxed conditions and a straightforward entry. We'd suggest it for divers who appreciate the subtler beauty of the local marine life without the expectation of big pelagics.
