Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Protaras, this dive combines sheltered shallow water with limestone rock features and small cave passages. Divers navigate around rocky outcrops and through a natural overhead opening known locally as The Hole. Sea turtles regularly feed on the seagrass beds flanking the hard substrate, making it a reliable spot for encounters.
