4 curated Scuba Diving spots in Cyprus, each with its own note and source.
Paphos · Best time: Apr–Nov · Beginner
Boats leave Latchi for the west wall at St George's Island, dropping from 10 to about 34 metres with a stalactite cave at 8 metres. Amphitheatre Bay, a former Roman stone quarry, has three bays with mini walls from 9 metres and steps at 15, 21 and 30 metres. Lara Bay reaches 20 metres and is protected turtle habitat.

Famagusta · Best time: May–Oct · Beginner
More than 93 sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor have stood at 8 to 10 metres since 2021, less than 200 metres off the Ayia Napa coast and inside a marine protected area. Built from pH-neutral cement and stainless steel, they are growing into an artificial reef. Shallow enough to snorkel, and a short entry-level dive.

Paphos · Best time: Apr–Nov · All levels
The Blue Lagoon itself is shallow: 7 metres at most over pale sand, with a cave at about 5 metres — a training and first-dive site. Off Paphos, by contrast, the Vera K wreck lies at 11 metres, boat access only; Open Water is enough, but the narrow tunnels and two archways are for practised divers. Visibility up to about 25 metres.

Larnaka · Best time: Jun–Oct · All levels
The 172-metre ro-ro ferry sank on her maiden voyage in 1980 and lies on her port side on sand and rock in Larnaka Bay: shallowest point at 17 metres, seabed at 43, boat access only. Open Water is the minimum certification. Visibility around 25 metres, with 108 articulated lorries and their cargo still aboard.
