Larnaca Scuba Diving Holidays

Cyprus has one of the longest dive seasons in the world. The water is warm and clear, with visibility reaching between 30-40 metres, providing fantastic diving conditions, which combined with there being hardly any currents, this is a great place for all divers. 

Cyprus offers much more than just great diving, the country is very culturally interestung, with beautiful, unspoilt towns, and a fantastic, up beat nightlife. A Cyrpus Dive Holidays also offers an abundance of non diving activities for the whole family, with some favourites being mountain biking, trekking, and kitesurfing.
 

Apart from antique shipwrecks, it is mainly the remains of ancient sites and underwater objects which draw divers into Cyprus’ waters. Amphorae covered in algae offer a fascinating sight. On top of the historical dive sites, the arrival of dozens of turtles on a slightly remote beach laying their eggs is always a very special experience. Along with the fascinating archeological dive sites, Cyprus offers super easy learning conditions.

The absolute highlight for divers in Cyprus is the wreck of "Zenobia", a Swedish cargo ship with an impressive length of 176 metres. In 1980, the fully laden ship sank on its maiden voyage to Syria 1400 metres in front of the harbour of Larnaca. "Zenobia" is the biggest shipwrecks in the Mediterranean Sea and is one of the world's "top ten" shipwrecks which can be dived.

One of the most appealing things about Cyprus as a dive holiday destination, is how beautiful the entire country is. The views from the Troodos Mountains are just spectacular, the perfect day trip for those wanting to venture away from the beaches. There are many hiking trails, churches and forests to be discovered on your diving holiday in Cyrpus. All easily accessible, and a great way to really experience the history and natural wildlife that surrounds this part of Cyprus.

A diving holiday in Cyrpus is perfect for the whole family. Cyprus in general is a warm, friendly place, which couldn't be more welcoming. Non diving family members have a beautiful place to relax in, with lovely hotels. The nightlife in the town of Pissouri is also great for families. There are no clubs, just a really great, fun atmosphere, and a huge choice of amazing restaurants.
