Program description:

Welcome to the magnificent underwater world of Cyprus! With sea temperatures ranging from 16 degrees Celsius in January, 21 in May, 28 in August and 24 in October, Cyprus has become a popular diving location in the Mediterranean Sea. There are no tides or dangerous currents and the waters are crystal clear with visibility reaching 30-40 meters.

On the south east point of Cyprus (Cape Gkreko) you will find some of the island's most popular diving locations, with a variety of caves and reefs ranging from 10 to 40 meters. This is an ideal place for beginners as well as for experienced divers.

The wreck Zenobia, a Swedish ferry that sank in 1979 is another popular dive site. Located 1 mile off the marina in Larnaka with a depth from 18 down to 41 makes it a dive site you want to see more of. The Zenobia wreck is considered to be one of the 10 best in the world! We dive at the Zenobia wreck 2 to 3 times a week.

There is a wide variety of marine life such as, moray eels, bream, grouper, wrasse, red mullet, soldier fish, fan worms and spirographs. You may also come across ancient stone anchors and amphora's dating back to 400 BC, please note that removal of historical objects is forbidden.
