Diving in Cyprus

The crystal clear sea and the warm water make Cyprus ideal for diving. Sea temperatures around the island range from 27 to 16 ΊC, resulting in one of the longest diving seasons in the Mediterranean, while the absence of plankton makes for great visibility.

The underwater coastal reefs teem with a wide variety of colourful fish, sponges, coral, sea anemones, octopus, mussels and the ubiquitous sea urchin providing a spectacular picture. Sea turtles can be spotted regularly, thanks to a turtle conservation project that has increased their numbers around the island considerably.

Spectacular underwater caves and tunnels and a number of interesting paths are just waiting to be explored, while the remains of ancient amphora and stone anchors make it a veritable adventure.

Scuba Diving

A thrilling sport due to the abundance of marine life around the island’s coast. The often superb visibility enables you to see wrecks, caves, sponges and other plant life and is great for underwater photography. You can learn scuba whilst on the island.
