Dive-site story
Located along the eastern coastline near Protaras, Vizakia Bay features a gently sloping seabed of sand, rock formations, and patches of Posidonia seagrass. Calm surface conditions make the bay a frequent choice for introductory dives, training sessions, and relaxed second dives. Natural rocky outcrops shelter Mediterranean macro critters, while sea turtles occasionally drift into the shallows to graze.
Lush beds of Posidonia oceanica attracting foraging green sea turtles
