Pistol Bay Dive Site is located along the Paphos shore line next to Amphitheatre.

The dive site accessed by a rope rail that safely guides divers down the side of a cliff to enter the sea. A start that initially looks challenging is well worth it as the dive site is perfect for both beginners and seasoned divers alike. A gradual slope across boulders and canyons leads to a sandy bottom where a number of swim throughs can be found.

There is a moderate amount of marine life which can be spotted including  bream, cuttlefish, grouper and pufferfish, along with schools of thousands of transparent sand smelt fish that look like masses of glittering glass in the water.

Make sure you bring towels and a change of clothes as the site can be a bit muddy.

Situated under the cliffs on the south side of Cape Greko (close to the Tunnels and Caves Dive Site) is Chapel Dive Site. The entry point is adjacent to Ayioi Anargiroi Church. Follow a flight of steps down to cave and you find a sheltered bay. Due to the steep steps a good level of fitness and strength is required. Rocks can also be a bit slippery so balance is also required.

That challenging entry is worth it, with experienced divers being rewarded  with a series of dramatic rock formations – such as steep walls, boulders and swim throughs. Sea grass is found at the lower depths of the site

The marine life includes a yellow spotted pufferfish and  octopi and stingrays, with most seen above 20 metres, enchanting all level of diver.

Tunnels & Caves is situated on the far east of the island along the Cape Greko peninsula. The site is characterised by crystal clear waters and a shallow sandy bottomed floor at around 12m which is perfect for beginners.

The name of this dive site comes from the many tunnel like swim throughs that are present around the dive site which contain an array of marine wildlife. Due to the shallow depth and water clarity the light beams can truly sparkle as they shine through some of the openings in the swim throughs. 

The site has a number of easy  access/egress points including access via a hole at the top of the cave.

Although it is an early start, the drive to this dive site is well worth it (especially since it includes the obligatory breakfast stop off for coffee and pastries).
