Scuba Diving Regions in Cyprus
From world-class walls to muck diving havens, discover the unique character of each regional cluster.
Regional Diversity
Cyprus boasts one of the longest diving seasons in the Mediterranean, with comfortable conditions from April all the way through to November. The peak months are June to September, when the water is at its warmest and visibility is exceptional. Even in the 'winter' months of December to March, the water temperature rarely drops below 16°C, making it a viable year-round destination for drysuit divers and those seeking a quiet experience.
