Stretching between Europe and the Middle East, diving in Cyprus offers some of the Mediterranean’s most exciting underwater experiences. The island is famous for exceptional visibility, historic shipwrecks, and rocky reefs rich in marine life. Cyprus scuba diving highlights include the world-renowned Zenobia wreck, underwater caves, swim-throughs, and dramatic walls. Expect sightings of groupers, barracuda, octopus, turtles, and colorful reef fish. With warm waters, well-run dive centers, and sites for all levels, Cyprus is a top destination for Mediterranean diving holidays.
International travelers can access Cyprus diving destinations via Larnaca International Airport (LCA) or Paphos International Airport (PFO), both offering direct flights from major European cities and regional hubs. Dive centers are easily reached by car, taxi, or hotel transfer, particularly along the south coast near Larnaca, Protaras, Limassol, and Paphos. Many operators offer daily boat dives, shore dives, and wreck excursions including trips to the Zenobia. With modern infrastructure and professional facilities, Cyprus scuba diving trips are simple to plan and easy to enjoy.
