Diving in Cyprus is available almost all year round. And if you are not afraid of the December temperature of +18, then Cyprus is completely at your service. The island's dive sites are located in easily accessible locations near the main major cities of the island - Limassol, Paphos and Larnaca. Underwater inhabitants do not pose any danger at all, and there are no fast currents in the sea.
The local waters do not spoil divers with a special variety of inhabitants of the underwater world, but the wrecks here are simply magnificent. It is wreck diving that is the main focus of Cypriot diving.
Zenobia
The real gem of the Cyprus collection is a cargo ship that sank in 1980. Why this happened is still a mystery. The ferry lies almost thirty meters deep, and you can get to it from Marina Larnaca. The ship is simply huge in size, and the perfectly clear water of the Mediterranean Sea allows you to see this giant for the first time on approach to the island. To do this, you just need to look through the airplane window.
Limassol
The local waters keep many interesting places. Diving near Amathus will allow you to admire the remains of an ancient city with an ancient harbor. Cape Arktoria "will delight" with ship guns, the age of which is estimated in a couple of centuries. Here you can also see the remains of two ancient ships. Numerous underwater caves are no less interesting.
Pathos
Several sunken ships can be seen in the water area of these places. "Achilles", which once belonged to the Greeks, lies only 11 meters from the surface of the water. This circumstance makes it possible to examine the wreckage of the ship especially carefully.
The next wreck is the Turkish cargo ship Vera Kei. The storm destroyed the ship almost completely - only the hull survived. The Mulia Reef became its last mooring place.
There are interesting diving sites in Paphos itself. Directly at the bottom of the bay near the city embankment, you can see the ancient Roman harbor.
A dive site called "Jubilee Flocks" is also worth a visit. This is a destroyed submarine, which has become the residence of numerous inhabitants of the sea. The tunnel will be especially interesting, but this walk is exclusively for the aces. But the rest of the places are quite accessible even for beginners.
But if you prefer the beauty of the underwater scenery to the victims of sea disasters, then by all means take a look at the Paphos dive sites. In particular, the "Amphitheater". Underwater caves could not withstand the onslaught of currents and simply collapsed, creating a real amphitheater. Nature did its best to create caves, terraces and even spectator benches for the special guests of this place - divers.
Ayia Napa offers a huge number of underwater caves, reefs covered with coral gardens and, of course, many marine life. By the way, the visibility in these waters is excellent.
