You've finally made the decision: you don't just want to admire the underwater world from the surface while snorkeling, but dive in yourself. A fantastic decision! But of course, when planning your holiday in Cyprus, one of the most important questions arises: How much does the diving course actually cost?


Sure, the budget is important. But diving is about more than just price – it's about your safety, your training, and the experience.


Quality over bargain hunting

The cost of a PADI Open Water Diver course with us starts at approximately €520 . Of course, you can find "bargain prices" online, but diving is like insurance – you don't want to cut corners when it comes to your own safety.


Here are the factors that influence the price of your training:

  • Group size: You learn faster and more safely in a small group. We focus on quality, not mass processing.

  • Included services: Are learning materials (e-learning), the certification fee, and all rental equipment already included in the price? Make sure there are no hidden costs on site.

  • Location and infrastructure: Diving in Cyprus offers crystal-clear water and fascinating spots like the Zenobia wreck. The logistics behind it – from the boats to the filling station – are reflected in the costs.


What is included in the diving training?

When you do your Open Water Diver course with us, you book a complete package. We avoid the "bait-and-switch" approach where additional fees for wetsuits or certificates are added at the end.


Your checklist for comparing courses:

  1. Learning materials: PADI eLearning is standard today – learning conveniently from home saves valuable vacation time.

  2. Equipment: Is the equipment in top condition? Our regulators and BCDs are regularly serviced.

  3. Supervision: How many students are there per diving instructor? Safety is paramount when diving.

  4. Certification fee: This should be included in a transparent offer.


Why our PADI course offers more

If you plan to get your diving certification with us at the Cyprus Diving Centre, you are not investing in a quick license, but in comprehensive training.


  • Professional instruction: Safety is our top priority. In our small groups, you'll learn not only how to breathe, but how to become a responsible diver.


  • No hidden costs: Our price includes everything – from modern teaching materials and first-class rental equipment to certification.


  • Perfect conditions: Cyprus is a diver's paradise. Green Bay, in particular, is the ideal spot for your first breaths underwater. The shallow, sheltered waters with their sandy bottom offer the perfect environment to practice your first skills in peace, without having to worry about currents or complex conditions.

The path to certification

We know you want to save time on your vacation. That's why we rely on PADI eLearning. You complete the theory from the comfort of your home, so we can fully concentrate on what you're here for in Protaras: time underwater!


With its biodiversity and usually very good visibility , Green Bay is not only the perfect training location for your education, but also a place where you will immediately fall in love with the underwater world.

Investing in your diving certification is the first step into a world that remains hidden to most of humanity. If you're ready to experience diving in Cyprus with a professional team that takes the time for you, then you've come to the right place.
