Dive Sites

The site is situated on the far east of the island along the Cape Greko peninsula. The site is characterised by crystal clear waters and a shallow sandy bottomed floor at around 12m which is perfect for beginners.

The name of this dive site comes from the many tunnel like swim throughs that are present around the dive site which contain an array of marine wildlife. Due to the shallow depth and water clarity the light beams can truly sparkle as they shine through some of the openings in the swim throughs. 

The site has a number of easy  access/egress points including access via a hole at the top of the cave.

Although it is an early start, the drive to this dive site is well worth it (especially since it includes the obligatory breakfast stop off for coffee and pastries).

Situated under the cliffs on the south side of Cape Greko (close to the Tunnels and Caves Dive Site) is Canyon. The entry point is first accessed by a bit of off-road driving and then a long challenging walk down some cliffs followed by two vertical ladder to the waters edge. A good level of fitness and strength is required. 

That being said the challenging entry is worth it, with experienced divers being rewarded  with a series of dramatic rock formations – such as steep walls, boulders and swim throughs.

The marine life is less abundant here than at other sites, but divers will still spot damselfish, grouper, moray eels, octopi and stingrays, with most seen above 20 metres, enchanting all level of diver.

The site is named after the cliff side cave that legends say was the home of the mythical one-eyed Cyclops rather than a cave that we explore whilst diving. 

The site has something to offer divers of varying experiences. In the shallows it has stunning topography of huge boulders, rocks, seagrass and sand – including a sandy, uphill path between meadows of Posidonia seagrass. Whilst if you follow the “Ski Jump”, this gradual slope will take you down past 40m. 

This makes it a great diver for training purposes. It is ideal as a practise site for mapping, night diving, navigation and deep dives. Marine life includes bream, grouper, lionfish, moray eels, nudibranch, sea urchins and starfish, among other species.

Green Bay is a perfect dive site for beginner divers. It is situated in a picturesque bay, with crystal clear waters and and an abundance of marine life.

The site has an abundance of marine life including ”Table Rock” which acts as a fish feeding station as well as turtles often spotted in the area. 

In addition to the natural features and divers can also enjoy some replica Greek statues submerged at 10m in addition to fragments of ancient amphorae to be discovered on the seabed.

This location along the Paphos shore line provides access to two great dive sites, Church Bay (also known as Pistol Bay) and Amphitheatre.

Church Bay dive site is accessed by a rope rail that safely guides divers down the side of a cliff to enter the sea. A start that initially looks challenging is well worth it as the dive site is perfect for both beginners and seasoned divers alike. A gradual slope across boulders and canyons leads to a sandy bottom where a number of swim throughs can be found. 

Around 100m away from Church Bay is the Amphitheatre dive site. The dive site takes its name from natural rock formations that resemble a traditional Amphitheatre. With a mostly flat, sandy surface, the site is perfect for beginners. Notable features include a couple of deep valleys and walls that provides interest with also some holes, arches and overhangs.

At both dive sites There is a moderate amount of marine life which can be spotted including  bream, cuttlefish, grouper and pufferfish, along with schools of thousands of transparent sand smelt fish that look like masses of glittering glass in the water.

Make sure you bring towels and a change of clothes as the site can be a bit muddy.
