Larnaca Dive Sites

Two excellent wrecks the Zenobia Ferry which Sank in 1980 and the HMS Cricket which Sank in 1947. The Zenobia dive starts at 17 metres and bottoms at 43 metres. It is completely intact and nearly 200 metres long. Articulated vehicles still have their original cargo on board. Large schools of Amberjack, Grouper and Barracuda are often encountered along with the many different other species that choose to make this ship their home. This vessel sank on her maiden voyage to Cyprus.

Paphos Dive Sites

Jubilee Shoats is one of the most talked about dive sites in Cyprus. A submarine cliff from 17 to 40 metres with pinnacles, caves and overhangs. Many large predatory fish have been sighted here as well as large groupers, octupus and morays. For the more experienced divers only, there is an amazing tunnel penetration. Other dive sites in the Paphos area include wrecks, reefs, caves and walls.

Latchi-Polis-Akamas Dive Sites

Many very scenic sites ideal for photographers and divers of all levels. Mostly coral reefs, walls and caves.

Ayia Napa Dive Sites

Ideal all level destination with many caves and reefs with good coral growth and amazing visibility.

Limassol Dive Sites

Lots of wrecks such as the Pharses II, an open deck cargo ship of less than 1000 Tonnes lying on it's starboard side and intact at a depth of 21 metres. The M.V. Habe wreck is a 1000 tonne Barge that is semi-submerged against Limassol harbour wall at a depth of 9 metres. The Copper wreck is a British Man'O'War with copper bottomed hull taht foundered on the reef on the western tip of the Akrotiri Peninsula. Not much remains from the original wreck although you regularly retrieve the copper and brass pins embedded in bits of the hull, the depth is a 9 metres. Big Country is a great multi-level site with many caves, overhangs and very large boulders some more than 12 metres high. Grouper, Morays, Octopus and large shoals of damselfish are found here: Depth 23 metres.

Diving In Cyprus

The amount of diving in Cyprus often surprises many that try it here. Cyprus is typically Mediterranean in climate terms. Its summers are hot and dry and its winters are mild, sometimes wet, but not often. During the summer months, water temperature averages at 25C, whilst declining to 15C in the winter.

The most outstanding site has to be the wreck of the massive roll-on roll ferry the Zenobia. She lies near Larnaka and can even be seen from the air as you land here. Basically, she is massive and offers divers plenty of exploration possibilities. But the Zenobia isn’t the only wreck around in Cypriot waters and most are not too far from shore. In fact all the dive sites are within easy reach.

There are two Decompression chambers on the Island, one in Limassol in the British forces Hospital, and the other in Larnaka General Hospital, where they offer diving accident treatment FREE. We are extremely lucky to have these Decompression chambers here in Cyprus because other locations can be extremely expensive for any diving accident treatment.
