Cyprus

Cyprus

Cyprus at Mediterranean coast offers beautiful and dramatic diving. The crystal clear water often offers good visibility but conditions can vary. Here you experience exciting rock formations that the sun's rays shine on or through. Walls that go straight into the sea and are often covered with fungi and different types of algae. Crustaceans, echinoderms and various fish can be seen here, but also slightly larger animals such as turtles, barracuda, sea bass and various rays are sometimes seen. A real experience is to see a seahorse.

There are lovely beaches here, really good and varied food. On land there are plenty of experiences with everything from hiking, spa, kayaking, sup, sailing, climbing and much more. The food is generally very good and typical Mediterranean food with lots of vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. As a destination, Cyprus is very suitable for the whole family. The best time to dive in Cyprus is the summer months when the temperature is pleasant in both the air and the water, but you can dive all year round. However, it is noticeably colder during our winter months and in the spring.

The diving

When diving in Cyprus and the Mediterranean, it is often the visibility that makes the diving amazing. Cyprus has a relatively sparse marine life with fish and invertebrates. Here you can also find corals and sponges that dress and color the awesome rock formations.
Here in Cyprus you will also find a lot of wrecks. Many are relatively deep but there are also in shallow water and the most famous of them all is of course Zenobia. You can dive in Cyprus with accommodation on land where you take day trips out to sea. Live aboard is unfortunately completely missing.

Diving along the coast of Cyprus is normally considered easy and quite good for being in the Mediterranean and the Zenobia wreck is probably what has made diving in Cyprus most famous. Flying to Cyprus is quick and from Larnaca airport it takes just under an hour to your hotel on the east coast. Accommodation in Cyprus is normally in hotels.

A summer or autumn holiday to Cyprus is for those who don't want to travel so far and have the opportunity to extend the summer with some nice diving.
