Diving in Paphos

Explore diving in Paphos

There are several dive shops in Paphos, one of which has been around for over 30 years. If that’s not a reliable and consistent establishment, I don’t know what is. The well versed shops will take you out to some of the most fascinating dives in Cyprus.

Not far from the harbor is the Orphurus, a spellbinding series of overhangs and small caverns, showing off the vibrant corals and sponges of the region. For a more serious cave dive head to Manijin Island, just offshore. You go on a two tank dive, here, exploring the complex network of sea caves and drop-offs.

There is even a blowhole that gives an applause worth performance. There are several wrecks to see, as well, though some of the best wrecks can be encountered on the other side of Cyprus.
