MYRTHIANOS PLAKIAS SCUBA FIELD GUIDE
Second Day in Myrthianos Plakias: Two Guided Dives into 30m-Visibility Waters
A focused day of two guided dives amid rocky gorges and rich marine life — this guide explains the flow of the day, what to bring, and key safety notes.
Second Day in Myrthianos Plakias: Two Guided Dives into 30m-Visibility Waters.
Myrthianos Plakias delivers a simple, concentrated diving day: crystal-clear water, striking drop-offs and gorges, and abundant life visible in up to 30 meters of water. The second day of the Six Days of Fun Diving package centers on two immersive shore-based dives, scenic beaches and a relaxed, small-group rhythm that keeps the focus on the sea.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Exceptional Visibility
The local dive sites offer clarity out to about 30 meters, so long-range views of rocky formations and reef life are a consistent feature of both dives.
Rugged Drop-offs and Gorges
Dives explore varied terrain — drop-offs, gorges and rocky formations that create visual drama both above and below the surface.
Calm Seas in Small Groups
Operators keep groups small and the sea conditions are typically calm, a combination that favors relaxed, focused dives and easy surface intervals.
What the day feels like
What the Day Feels Like
Expect a deliberate, unhurried day: an arrival at the centre for kit fitting and a warm-up drink, a short transfer to the beach, a safety briefing and a 45–60 minute first dive, a beachside lunch, then a second prepared and guided dive before returning to wash kit and review photos. The structure is built around two full dives and time to take in the landscape between them.
