Cyprus Diving Holidays
Mediterranean sunshine isle
Tailor-made Cyprus Diving Holidays
Blessed with one of the longest diving seasons in the Mediterranean, the beautiful island of Cyprus is an ideal choice for a dive holiday close to home. With average air temperatures of around 24°C and water temperatures ranging seasonally from 16-27°C, Cyprus offers year-round sunshine. Add excellent visibility and generally calm sea conditions into the mix, and you can see why the island of Cyprus is so popular for divers, snorkellers and water lovers of all kinds.
Underwater, Cyprus offers much to discover. World class wrecks – including the renowned Zenobia known as the ‘Titanic of the Mediterranean’ – are one of the main attractions but divers will be equally enthralled by the spectacular topography of canyons, caves and tunnels. There is always something unique and interesting to discover – from ancient archaeological remains to the 90+ sculptures at MUSAN, the Museum of Underwater Sculpture Ayia Napa.
Cyprus is committed to preserving its heritage and natural wonders for future generations and there are currently seven Marine Protected Areas containing artificial reefs across the island. The waters are abundant with marine life, typically a wide variety of colourful fish, sponges, octopus, sea anemones, moray eels and more, besides the occasional sea turtles and rarer Mediterranean Seal.
Boat diving and shore diving are both available here. Gently shelving sandy beaches and rocky inlets offer the perfect opportunity for new divers to take their first breaths underwater in the open sea. The many exciting wrecks and deeper dives are adventurous enough for experienced divers and those wishing to extend their skills.
Above water, Cyprus’ reputation as a superb all-round sunshine holiday destination means that visitors will have plenty to do and see post-diving or for non-diving friends and family to enjoy. From cultural excursions spanning over 11,000 years of history to discovering traditional villages in the mountains and sampling delicious Cypriot cuisine. Once visited, Cyprus is sure to hold you in its spell forever.
What divers love about diving holidays in Cyprus:
