Imagine a Mediterranean island bathed in warm, clear blue water. Long, sandy beaches punctuate the predominantly indented and rocky coastline, and the culture and cuisine are unmistakably Mediterranean. This is North Cyprus, and it’s nestled in the northeast corner of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. From simple, sandy-bottom dives for beginners to epic deep dives, the island’s diving offers something for everyone.
There are many memorable dive sites in Cyprus, but some of the favorites are Mare Monte Beach, the Zephryos Reef and the Wall and lots more. The Zenobia is the most famous wreck dive on Cyprus (and one of the top 5 wrecks in the world), and the trucks chained to the deck are not to be missed.

A perfect shallow dive for your first ever Try-Dive at a gradual increase in depth along the sandy bottom up to 6 meters. Wonderful visibility and picturesque swim throughs, perfect photo opportunities for those all important dive selfies! The reef is alive with marine life, colourful ornate groupers will be happy to make your acquaintance and you may be lucky enough to spot tiny nudibranch making their homes on the reef.
