Cyprus offers a unique diving experience characterized by diverse underwater environments and a rich tapestry of marine life. The island's position in the eastern Mediterranean grants it warm, clear waters, ideal for exploring the hidden wonders beneath the waves. One of the standout features is the famous Zenobia wreck in Larnaca Harbour, considered one of the top wreck dives globally. This sunken ferry, resting at depths ranging from 10 meters to over 40 meters, attracts divers of varying skill levels. Additionally, Cyprus boasts numerous reefs and caves, providing thrilling opportunities for both novice and advanced divers alike. The southern and western coastlines are particularly favored for their high concentration of dive sites, offering everything from serene shore dives to more adventurous boat and liveaboard trips. Marine life around Cyprus is vibrant, with sightings of octopus, barracuda, and even turtles being quite common. The calm and clear conditions make it a perfect destination for diving courses, catering to beginners with shallow reefs and sandy areas, while offering more challenging wrecks and caves for seasoned explorers. Seasonal variations bring unique underwater experiences, as cooler months may offer encounters with different species, adding an element of surprise to repeat visits.
