Hi Ian

The Island of Dias (think that's how you spell it), a couple of miles off Iraklion is an excellent dive. That's where the Minoan fleet went down 3,000 years ago, however diving around Crete is a bit restricted in certain areas.

Cheers Ron

who are you flying with - a lot of operators allow an extra 10kg for divers

Thought Crete was great as a holiday destination, diving ok for the novelty of the water temp.

Whereabout are ya goin ian?
