Greetings from Crete: Diving Like It's 2999

If Crete is the first place you will ever dive, chances are you won't ever do it again...unless you like hanging out underwater, some 60 feet deep and in poor visibility, and seeing about ten fish an hour, that is.

If diving here is any indication of the state of fish in the Mediterranean, we should all be very, very scared. There are, for sure, more fish at an average all-inclusive hotel restaurant buffet table than there are in the water off the northern coast of Crete.

To be fair, we did see a few barracuda and a couple fireworms, but that's about it. Save your Euros for sightseeing and frappe-drinking instead.
