Cyprus is located in the northeast of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is the best place for beginner divers thanks to its calm waters sporting perfect visibility. However, the real fun begins when you are ready to take it to the next level. Host to one of the best wreck dives in the world, Cyprus boasts of the wreck of Zenobia ferry found not far from Larnaca and is now sitting on its port side at the depth of 16-43 metres. The massive size of the wreck deserves a lot of credits and is now fully colonized by marine life. Advance divers could marvel at its cavernous hold where about a hundred trucks and other types of vehicles chained to the cargo deck simply sit suspended on the walls sporting an animated show.

Aside from the popular Zenobia ferry wreck, beginner and novice divers could also explore caves and tunnels which are not far from the shore. If you are looking for richer diving experience with plenty of marine life, Cyprus doesn't really deliver aside from the Zenobia wreck but the wreck alone is worth a visit because of its enormous size. Nonetheless, pristine dive sites could be found in the northwest tip of the island around the Akamas Peninsula where the waters are clear and normally warm for the whole year perfect for spotting rare artefacts on the seabed.

Some of the marine life to see includes indigenous fishes, octopus, and crustaceans frolicking in the island's rocky shorelines. There are also green and logger turtles, groupers, moray eels, bream and bass at the depth of 9 metres near Akrotiri.

Another popular dive site is the HMS Cricket wreck, a WW1 gunboat lying upside down at the depth of 30 metres. The wreck is perfectly visible and good for all levels of divers and is located not far from Larnaca.
