Dive-site story
Located off the Akrotiri Peninsula near Limassol, this protected marine area features a gently sloping rocky seabed interspersed with sand patches and Posidonia seagrass meadows. Because the zone has enjoyed long-term protection, local fauna shows little fear of divers, often approaching closely during descents. The calm waters and forgiving depths make it a dependable location for training dives and relaxed exploration.
