What They’re Saying
"Where to even start... Wow! Alex was amazing from start to finish... our first time ever scuba diving, we were nervous at the start but by the end, we didn't want to leave the water.
Alex was super professional and helpful throughout. He offers a more focused service (not huge groups of people) so you really feel confident getting int the water with him.
He's also a great laugh (added bonus) and the scultpure parks, especially MUSAN, is a bucket list experience... just beautiful! Highly recommend doing at least 2x dives (Green Bay & MUSAN if you're a beginner) - you MUST go to Pineapple Dive Club for the ultimate Cyprus diving experience - thank you Alex... WE WILL BE BACK! 10/10"

"I had a super duper scuba diving experience with Alex and honestly cannot recommend him highly enough! As a first-timer, I was feeling a bit nervous, but Alex was incredibly patient and reassuring from start to finish.
He guided me through the entire experience, constantly checking in to make sure I was okay and comfortable. At one point, I had a bit of a panic, but Alex stayed completely calm, helped me regain my composure, and thanks to his support, we were back under the water in no time. That moment really showed how experienced and attentive he is. What also made the experience extra special was that Alex doesn’t take large groups—it was just me and my husband—so we had his full attention throughout.
His calm, supportive approach makes him the perfect instructor for beginners or anyone feeling a little unsure. Thank you, Alex, for making this such a memorable and confidence-boosting experience! It’s a shame I can only give you 5 stars!

The best experience I've had! I did a discovery dive as a starter to see how I got on, and went on to complete my Advanced open water and Enriched Air courses after an epic first go!!
1 to 1 tuition with the most patient and calming people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Alex makes you feel part of a community of divers in Cyprus from day one and is focused on making each dive and the training as fun and engaging as possible.
Turns out the community also respect Alex as one of the most experienced wreck divers there too.
If you want an unforgettable diving experience and to gain not just the skills, but the confidence in diving, reach out to him.
I extended my stay by several weeks and am now booked to go back to Cyprus and dive with Pineapple again in 8 weeks.
There are many many dive centres available in Cyprus. If you want to be treated as an individual rather than a number or quota, book with Alex at Pineapple!!
For now, it's raining and cold in the UK but I can still look at all the footage Alex took of me while we dived together.

What is Discover Scuba Diving?
This is your chance to dip your toes (and fins) into the world of scuba diving in Cyprus with no diving experience or scuba diving certification needed. With dive groups, maximum of 4, your'll get the time and attention needed. Perfect for beginner diving or family friendly diving.
You'll learn the basics, gear up, and head out for a proper dive in the warm, clear waters of Cyprus. Think of it as scuba divers version of a test drive, but waaay more fun (and with sea turtles, not salespeople). We'll take you to some of the best scuba diving spots in Cyprus, giving you the chance to experience the world under the sea.
We prefer to do 2 discover dives on the same day. It might cost a little more than you can find elsewhere, but we find with an added dive comes added comfort. We want you to really experience the joy of scuba diving, and we find that for most people they get that on the 2nd dive. The first dive you will learn some basic skils and get used to breathing underwater, the second dive you can put the things you have learned into practice, and really appreciate the underwater world.
