Scuba diving Cyprus - Where to dive
- Akamas peninsula. This gorgeous unspoilt area on the west of the island is
close to Latchi and is perfect for beginners and experienced divers. There are numerous
Cyprus dive sites dotted along the peninsula although there are no diving wrecks to explore here.
Visibility, however, is excellent at thirty metres plus and there are numerous artefects from
bygone times on the seabed.
St Georges Island is the best known dive site for experienced divers, offering a wall dive with a sudden drop off. It is
THE place to see a large variety of marine diving life such as grouper, octopus and sea bass.
- Coral Bay. Close to Paphos, this area offers plenty of quiet coves and as the location is
close to a variety of restaurants, bars and varied nightlife, it is also perfect for a family holiday.
- Zenobia wreck. Although some people would consider the Cyprus sea to be a little
basic for exciting diving, there is no doubt that the Zenobia is one of the best sites for
diving wrecks in the world.
With the top of the former ten thousand ton ferry only sixteen metres down,
visibility in clear waters is usually excellent. You need several dives to even begin to experience
the wonders of the Zenobia, which sank during its maiden voyage in 1980 taking all 104 articulated
lorries with it!
The wreck, forty two metres down to the seabed, is such a draw for Cyprus diving, scuba companies from the west of the island will
even transport you to Larnaca in the east to see the wonders of the Zenobia for yourself.
