Cyprus is nestled in the northeast corner of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. From simple, sandy-bottom dives for beginners to classic deep dives, the island’s diving offers something for everyone. There are loads of unforgettable dive sites in Cyprus, but some of the favorites are Amphorae Caves, the Chapel, and the Zenobia. The Amphorae Caves are found off Paphos, where you’ll see ancient pottery, still integral. You can arrive at the Chapel from the shore, making it a superb place for night diving. The Zenobia is the most renowned wreck dive on Cyprus, and the trucks chained to the deck are not to be missed.
