Scuba
Cyprus based in Kyrenia is the largest professional diving
centre
and the first and only BSAC/PADI recognised diving school in Northern
Cyprus operating two dives a day from Deniz Kizi beach throughout the
year.
The dive sites are probably the best in the Mediterranean: the sea
is warm , the water is crystal clear and there is visibility for over
30 meters.
What really makes North Cyprus different is the abundance of underwater
life.
One can easily run into eels, sting
rays, octopus, amber jack, and Caretta-caretta sea turtles. There are also fascinating reefs, caves and
ancient ship-wreck sites.
The oldest commercial shipwreck was found a few
miles from Kyrenia harbour (dated 300 BC) and some of the artefacts
salvaged are now displayed in the museum located in
Kyrenia castle.
