Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Kalypso - Back of Swimming Pool

Alternative entry/exit point in Kalypso Cretan Village. Check carefully waves before entering and wathever your experience is, please DO NOT TRY TO EXIT there when wavy : the rock configuration and stairs make it really dangerous for anyone and his equipment !! Be careful with slippery ramps by the swimming pool. - to East side Possibility to exit the water in the bay, passing by a shallow (5-10m) 'white rocks' area (very colorful) then big boulders area and drop offs. - to West side: An 'Eiffel Tower' at 8m made out of junk too heavy (lazy) to take out. Interesting overhang rock 10m. Short shallow cavern. Wonderful cracks/overhang 25-40m. Boulders area. Few remains of an antique wreck (to be guided, very hard to find by oneself). - to South Gentle slope with small Posidonia fields 'secondary' entry/exit place which is located on the back of the swimming pool (that exit practicable only at calm sea). The stairs drop directly on a gentle slope of rocks and posidonia fields. Yet another seascape leading us to a shallow cavern that used to be home of a monk seal. From the darker end of the cavern we can enjoy the beautiful blue light coming in. - Further west is similar to the Swimtroughs Area only in the general plateau/drop off walls configuration : No swimtrough here but the wall feature one fantastic OverHang at 35m, covered with yellow anemones, coral, sponges and decorated outside by long forgotten fishing nets. The plateau offers interesting rocks shapes and for the easy breathers, even an antique Wreck with remains of bulk green glass and amphori as well as a few unidentified parts of the ship. Direction "Kalypso Cretan Village" Kalypso - Back of Swimming Pool is also known as Glass Wreck, Eiffel Tower, Corner Cavern.
