Underwater you’ll find terrain of rock, sand and sea grass, with the famous Fish Rock, an array of underwater statues,

It’s also a favourite for training and first time diving thanks to its gentle depths and great visibility.

Beginner | 0 - 10m | Ayia Napa

The MUSAN Underwater Museum in Ayia Napa was created by artist Jason deCaires Taylor, this underwater forest of sculptures sits between 8 and 10 metres, blending art and nature. Over time, the installations have become living reefs, attracting schools of fish, groupers and the occasional curious turtle.

MUSAN underwater sculpture spot is ideal for beginners and certified divers alike. It’s shallow enough to enjoy long, relaxed dives, yet visually powerful enough to impress.

Both wrecks lie at 24–27 metres and are perfect for advanced certified divers, with penetration opportunities for those qualified to dive to 30 metres. We head out by boat and can explore both sites in one trip. Expect marine life, from nudibranchs, lionrfish, schools of jacks and the occasional curious turtle.

WhiteChapel 

Advanced + | 10 - 30m | Cape Greco

The Chapel dive site at Cape Greco overlooks the stunning Bay of Konnos, with a small white chapel perched above the cliffs. Originally built to watch over the local fishing fleet, it now marks one of the most scenic shore dives in Cyprus.

Entry is via a simple walk down to the cave beneath the chapel, followed by a giant stride or roll into the water. You can explore dramatic rock formations, sea grass and hidden swim-throughs, with routes ranging from shallow 10–15 metres to deeper sections dropping to 25–30 metres.

Cyclops Cave

Konnos Bay (Cyclops Cave) is easily one of the best dive sites in Cyprus. Keep an eye out for moray eels, lionfish, and nudibranchs. It’s proper Mediterranean diving at its best.

With depths ranging from 12 to 40 metres, it suits a range of certification levels, whether you’re newly qualified or building experience.

One of the highlights is “The Rock” at around 18 metres, perfect for controlled descents and improving buoyancy. If you're looking for a dive in Cyprus that offers variety, marine life and skill progression all in one, this is right up there.

The MV Elpida, deliberately sunk in 2019 within Larnaca’s Marine Protected Area. Originally built in Germany in 1965 and later used as a cargo vessel in Greece, she was brought to Cyprus to begin a new life underwater.

Now thriving with marine life, from amberjack and grouper, the main deck sits at 20 metres and masts from 10 metres, Elpida is ideal for two dives in one day. Spacious cargo areas, accessible decks, and optional penetration routes make it a brilliant introduction to wreck diving.
