About Sminera
Sminera is a boat-access reef dive in the Agios Nikolaos area of Crete that starts on an easy shallow section and then opens into a pronounced wall, so the route is simple to follow but still gives certified divers something to plan around. It suits divers who want a classic Mediterranean profile with groupers, barracuda, jackfish, cardinalfish, and other small reef life rather than a technical or overhead dive.
