Dive-site story
Located off the northern coastline near Kyrenia, Zephiros is an offshore submerged reef characterized by stepped rock formations, deep crevices, and scattered boulders. Pelagic predators often patrol the outer drop-off while benthic fauna occupies the undercut ledges and natural fissures. The open-sea exposure ensures exceptional Mediterranean visibility throughout the main diving season.
Steep rocky drop-offs hosting amberjacks and barracuda schools in open water
Sheltered overhangs and crevices hiding octopus and moray eels
Occasional encounters with green and loggerhead turtles cruising along the reef edge
