Popular Diving Sites In Cyprus

Cyprus is also famous for several marine caves that can be found in gorgeous dive sites. The Amphitheater is a great diving place, shaped by currents that eroded in over a thousand years a cave roof, finally uncovering three ring shaped walls of 32-39 feet (10-12 meters) high. The place named Avdimou Wall, also featuring many caves, offers awesome sights for both diving and photography.

Cyprus is the ideal place to combine cultural holidays with snorkeling tours or peerless scuba diving vacations. For example, 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, but there are also many other extraordinary sights and extremely rich marine life to admire while diving in those waters.
