Scuba Diving Holidays in Cyprus

Around island of Cyprus is a magnificent aquatic world with perfect snorkeling and scuba diving resorts - a real paradise to any diver! With sea temperatures of 16 Celsius degrees in January, 21 in May, 28 in August, and 24 in October, Cyprus became a popular spot for beach holidays in Mediterranean Sea. There are no tides or dangerous currents and the waters are crystal-clear, with visibility reaching 30-40 meters and sometimes even more!

On the southeastern end of Cyprus (on Cape Greko) tourists find some of the most popular snorkeling and diving spots in Cyprus, with a variety of caves and reefs ranging from 10 to 40 meters. This is a great place for beginners as well as for experienced divers.

Zenobia, an enormous sunken ferry, is according to experts one of the best wrecks to dive in the world! Still, it isn't the only treasure in the sunken paradise of Cyprus! There are also Achilles and Vera K, also well known wrecks in waters from Paphos. Achilles lies 5 kilometers to harbor of Paphos at a depth of 11 meters. Vera K was a Turkish cargo that sank in a small hollow, allowing divers to combine wreck diving with the exploration of the surrounding reef and marine life.

Cypriot Resorts for Wreck Diving in Mediterranean

Cyprus is also famous for several marine caves and gorgeous dive resorts. The Amphitheater is a great place, shaped by currents that eroded over a thousand of years a cave roof, finally uncovering three ring shaped walls of 10-12 meters high. The place named Avdimou Wall, also with many caves, offers awesome sights for photography.

Cyprus is the ideal place to combine cultural holidays with snorkeling tours or scuba diving vacations. Just in this paradise of Mediterranean Sea can be seen images like an octopus coming out from an ancient Roman amphora that lies on the sea-bed!
