Dive-site story
Situated along the rugged Cape Greco national forest park between Ayia Napa and Protaras, Cyclops Cave features a dramatic underwater landscape sculpted out of porous limestone. Divers descend past huge fallen monoliths, swim-throughs, and stepped drop-offs that lead toward deep sandy flats. The fractured rock formations create ample shelter for macro critters and classic Mediterranean predators alike.
Light beams slicing through fractured rock arches and undercut ledges
Expansive rocky terraces stepping down into open sand
Hidden cracks shelter octopuses, crabs, and moray eels
