Night Diving in Cyprus

Night Diving in Cyprus

Dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you’ve been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. As the sun drops and the light fades the day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down then why not come night diving in Cyprus with us.

We only take small groups of AOW Divers and above for these trips because we want to ensure safe and fun dives.

 

The site we choose is Cynthiana Beach due to its shallow and rocky nature. This is perfect for spotting a wide variety of marine species. If you want to join us on an amazing night dive experience then please get in touch.

Our diving trips operate daily, year-round, but we purposefully avoid rigid schedules.

We ensure that guided diving groups remain small and are divided according to diving experience where possible. Moreover, there are no strict time limits during our dives – we dive for as long as the air in our cylinders lasts.

 

 

The absence of a tight schedule on our diving trips cultivates a chilled out, relaxed atmosphere. This contributes significantly to the exceptional quality and individuality of the scuba diving experience you’ll encounter with Cyprus Diving Adventures.
