Dive-site story
Situated off the tip of the Akamas Peninsula, this uninhabited rocky outcrop offers some of the most dynamic topography in Cyprus. Divers find sheer underwater walls plunging to sandy seabed plateaus, punctuated by deep fissures, swim-throughs, and boulder fields. Pelagic species frequently cruise along the seaward drop-offs where currents bring nutrient-rich waters.
Steep wall drop-offs covered in sponges and sea fans on the seaward side
Expansive swim-throughs and crevices cut through the volcanic rock formations
Regular encounters with passing predatory fish and Mediterranean sea turtles
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
