Since we rarely have waves and only low tides, we usually have visibility around 30 meters. Even at greater depths, there is still a lot of light, which makes diving particularly pleasant.
Many of our dive sites are easy to reach by car and getting in and out is very easy. At some dive sites you have to climb a bit, but the places are not overcrowded.

Diving with sea turtles in Cyprus
Have you always dreamed of diving with sea turtles, watching them eat, and learning a little more about these beautiful, elegant animals? Then you've come to the right place at Cyprus Diving Center.
Many of our dive sites provide great food for the green sea turtle. Sea turtles can often be found in the season from June to mid-October. Here they feed on the seaweed and commute back and forth between the various bays. This gives us the incredible opportunity to watch and study these great animals in peace. You will be surprised how big these turtles can get. Unfortunately, here too the sea turtles are endangered. Fortunately, the populations have recovered a bit in the last few years and we are increasingly seeing turtles diving.
