About Discover Scuba Diving
Not quite ready for a full diving course? No worries. Our Discover Scuba Experience is perfect for first-time divers who want to try scuba diving in a relaxed, friendly setting, with full one-on-one guidance, no pressure, and plenty of underwater magic.
First Time Scuba Diving in Cyprus
Discover Scuba Diving is where most people begin and it’s designed to get you used to being underwater and used to the scuba diving equipment.
Our Discover Scuba Diving experience in Cyprus is ideal for whether it’s your very first time or you’ve tried scuba before but never continued. You can expect beautiful clear water, time to get comfortable, and one-to-one guidance from Alex, our founder, every step of the way.
We only run intimate experiences with no big groups. This allows a proper introduction to the underwater world, at your pace.
About Your First Time Scuba Diving
Discover Scuba Diving is your introduction to scuba diving, with no diving experience or scuba diving certification required.
Small Groups, Personal Attention
We keep dive groups small, with a maximum of 4 divers. That means more time, more attention, and a relaxed, supportive experience. It’s ideal for beginner diving and family-friendly scuba diving in Cyprus.
A Proper First Dive
You’ll learn the basics, get comfortable with the scuba diving equipment then head out for a real dive in the warm, clear waters of Cyprus. We visit some of the best scuba diving sites in Cyprus, giving you the chance to experience marine life and the underwater world first-hand.
Why We Do Two Dives
Our Discover Scuba Diving Experience includes two in one day. Your first dive focuses on skills and confidence; the second is where everything clicks and becomes more comfortable, this is when most people truly enjoy scuba diving and start to feel more confident underwater.
An example itinerary of what the day looks like
Pick Up
09:00 AMWe'll collect you from where you are staying and head straight to Green Bay in Ayia Napa. A perfect dive site in Cyprus for beginners. Nice and shallow with lots to see!
Into & Briefing
10:00 AMWe’ll start with a relaxed chat where we explain how the equipment works, what you’ll be doing, and make sure you're totally comfortable before we even get in the water.
First Dive in Shallows
11:00 AMWhen you're comfortable in the water with your dive equipment, we’ll go through some basic skills then guide your first dive, no rush. Expect colourful fish, beautiful visibility.
Second Dive - MUSAN

First Time Dive Sites, Cyprus
Green Bay (Turtle Bay) Protaras
We typically do our first scuba dive at Green Bay in Protaras, it’s a perfect beginner diving spot with:
Super clear water
Easy entry and exit
Shallow depths
Loads of marine life (yes, including turtles!)
We’ll always choose the best site for the day’s conditions and your comfort.
MUSAN - Museum of Under Water Sculpture Ayia Napa
Our second dive takes us to MUSAN, just off the coast of Ayia Napa, a totally unique site and ideal for beginners who want something unforgettable.
A man-made underwater forest filled with life-size sculptures
Easy, shallow entry from the beach
Great visibility and depth around 8–10 metres
