Scuba diving in Paphos

Paphos has a long and diversified coast, which makes it ideal for scuba diving. There are many under water attractions to see. Among them, the submerged under water amphitheater and the purposely sunken ship, off the coast at Rikkos beach, Geroskipou. As Cyprus is one of the locations that use the careta - careta turtles to lay eggs, there is a good possibility to find yourself swimming next to a big turtle! There are many PADI certified diving centers in Paphos, Coral Bay and Polis areas where many people take advantage of their holidays to Cyprus to take diving lessons and become certified divers.
