Dive Sites

Green Bay

Shore Dive - Shake out/Training Site

Green Bay is the main training site for most dive centres in the local area.  With its swimming pool like conditions it offers the best circumstances for both “check dives” and the “Discover Scuba Diving Experience”.
Open Water Divers Courses are also started here before moving onto deeper sites. The “fish rock” and the “statues” are ideal opportunities to get some great photo and video coverage of your dive here.
Max Depth 10m

Green Bay - East

Shore Dive

Green Bay - East is a dive which takes you further a field than the Green Bay dive.  Reaching depths of 18m on this route allows you to explore the reef to the East of the “statues” visited on the Green Bay Dive.  Small caves, under water ravines and grassy plains can be seen before reaching the sandy bottom.
This dive site provides a very good alternative dive site id the Greko sites are not diveable due to sea conditions

De Costa Bay

Shore Dive

De Costa Bay is a dive site offering
an easy entry from the secluded beach.
sea horses and turtles have been seen here frequently in the past as they feed on the grassy bottom.
With a maximum depth of 15m it is an ideal site for all levels of divers.

Paramount

Shore Dive

This the closest dive site in the Cavo Greko Area to Protaras where there is two small reefs that run parallel to the shore line at around 9m and 12m.  Maximum depth can be 20m but there is little to see once you leave the reefs

Konnos Point/Cyclops Cave

Shore Dive

This is the most popular of the dive sites in the Cape Greko area and is a site that offers something to everyone from snorkelers, novice divers to experienced technical divers.  Once in the clear blue waters you will not be disappointed.  Visibility being 20m you can get clear views of the marine life in the area.  The site can be used to carry out enhanced diver training as it offers a rock platform from 4m to 9m and depths of 50m+ can be reached. Two separate dives can be completed from the same entry point.

The Chapel

Shore Dive

The Chapel dive site offers 2 different dives with similar marine life but different topography. Aptly named because of the White chapel built on the top of the cliffs at Cape Greko.  Divers don their equipment outside the chapel then follow the steps down to the entry point. The dive can be between 15 and 30 metres depending on the objective of the dive.  Very popular site for divers & snorkelers and is visited by numerous party boats.

Tunnels & Caves

Shore Dive

This is truly a fantastic dive passing through underwater caverns and caves.  All caves have entry and exit points along with plenty of light, (No extra training or torches are necessary).  Witness the rocks “breathing” as the air from inside the caves escapes on its way to the surface.  Just follow the instructions of our dive guide and you will have an awesome experience. 
The maximum depth is 12m and the exit through the hidden cave to the “Blow Hole”

The Canyon

Shore Dive

Wall Dive & Reef Dive
The Canyon is named because of the shape of the entry area within the cliff formations of Cape Greko. 
Once out of the canyon, you can either turn left and carry out a wall dive along the cliff face, or turn right and head towards the reef located at around a depth of 15m. 
Two separate dives can be carried out at this site.

Liberty & Nemesis Wrecks

Boat Dive

Normally the two wrecks are dived as "One dive" because the Liberty itself does not justify a "full cylinder dive". So after spending 5 minutes on the Liberty you will locate the Nemesis III along a bearing of 140 degrees where the boat will be moored off and awaiting our ascent after investigating the Trawler.

​

Liberty

The “Liberty” is a Russian cargo ship that was scuttled in May 2009 as part of the islands artificial reefs project.

It has a length of 37m, a width of 7m and lies in 27m of water.  This wreck is the perfect platform for wreck diving training as all the doors and hatches were removed to ensure safety.  It offer some penetration and swim throughs providing necessary area’s for students to learn the use of reels in dark confined area’s.

​

Nemesis III

The Bottom Trawler Nemesis III was built in France In 1956 and was previously named “Thalia” It was brought to Cyprus in 1987 where it operated in The Eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea as well as

Libyan waters. The vessel was scuttled on 20th December 2013. With a length of 24.5m and a breadth of 6.3m It lies upright at a depth of 23m.

Artificial Reef

Boat Dive

The artificial reef has been located in the same area of the Nemesis and Liberty wrecks in an attempt to repopulate the area area with marine life.  A number of different structures were assembled underwater to try and attract the marine life.

Octopus Reef

Boat Dive

Octopus Reef is an Open Water reef between 23m - 28m so it is better to use an EANx mix to make the most of your bottom time for this dive.  Although the reef is know as Octopus Reef, the reef has been inundated with Lion Fish, either way its a very interesting reef to dive. On completion of your bottom time, a DSMB will be deployed marking the location of your ascent and safety stop so the boat can come and collect you.

Patrol Boat Kyrenia

Boat Dive

The Kyrenia a former patrol boat was scuttled on the 28th February 2015 as part of the artificial reef program promoted by the Cyprus Dive Centre Assosiation and the Cyprus Fisheries Department.  Located a short boat trip outside Ayia Napa the Kyrenia lies upright in 23m of water.

HMS Cricket

Boat Dive

The HMS Cricket is located near Xylophagou, Larnaca at a maximum depth of 30m but was known as the unknown wreck for many years. This dive is an opportunity to explore an old British battleship that rests upside down on the seabed at 27 metres.
This World War Two gunboat survived the wars. It was anchored in Larnaca Bay Cyprus and used for a target practice by the RAF but sank in 1947 due to bad weather.
There is a sandy dip under the wreck where a previous expedition spent a few days removing the sand to try and identify the wreck. Divers can swim inside the hull through escape hatches and underneath the wreck.
Wreck History - HMS Cricket Wreck Cyprus, was one of ten Aphis Class (Large China) Gunboats constructed during the First World War to counter Austro-Hungarian monitors on the River Danube. Due to be scrapped in 1939, her life was extended by the outbreak of the Second World War.
