Pissouri
Pissouri offers a serene and accessible diving experience on the southern coast of Cyprus. Nestled between Limassol and Paphos, its main appeal lies in the calm, sheltered conditions of Pissouri Bay, making it an excellent location for beginner divers, certifications, and relaxed underwater exploration. The local dive sites, though few, feature interesting Mediterranean topography such as rocky reefs, small caverns, and swim-throughs. This quiet corner of Cyprus provides a peaceful alternative to the island's busier dive hubs, focusing on quality, uncrowded dives.
Divers can expect superb conditions, with warm, crystal-clear water and visibility often exceeding 25 meters during the long season from April to November. With minimal currents in the bay, Pissouri is perfect for building confidence and enjoying the vibrant marine life, including octopus, moray eels, and colourful wrasse. It’s an ideal destination for divers who want to combine their underwater adventures with the charm of a traditional Cypriot village, beautiful beaches, and easy access to the rest of the island's attractions.
