Kamares North is a Chania bay wall with soft corals, a steep face, and plenty of small-to-medium Mediterranean life. It suits divers who want a calm-moving reef day with strong visibility, a simple route, and enough depth to keep the dive interesting without turning it into a technical profile. Calm water makes the wall especially easy to read and keeps the dive relaxed.

Only the shallowest bay edge makes sense for snorkeling, and even that depends on calm water.
