About this dive site

This dive site is located at Cape Greco in Cyprus, offering a unique underwater experience in a series of tunnels and caves. A short walk down a rocky path leads to the entry point, where divers can perform a giant stride entry. The maximum depth is around 13 meters, and the site offers several options for exiting. Divers can opt for a traditional ascent or explore an alternative cave system starting at 2 meters that leads to the surface. Navigation is relatively straightforward, making it suitable for beginners.

The marine life here is abundant and varied. Divers can expect to see a range of fish including bream, damsel fish, blue spotted cornet fish, jacks, and lionfish. Moray eels are also present, often seen later in the dive. The caves and tunnels themselves provide a visually striking underwater landscape.

The best time to visit Cape Greco is during the warmer months (May-October) when water visibility is typically at its best and the sea is calm. Divers should always check weather and sea conditions before entering the water. For both divers and freedivers, it is crucial to maintain proper buoyancy control and to be aware of the potential for minor currents within the caves. Always dive with a buddy and never enter a cave system alone.
