Dive in warm, crystal clear waters

With water temperatures remaining pleasantly above 25C well into October, Cyprus has a longer diving and snorkeling season than most of its competitors nearby. The clarity of the sea, often vital to good diving, is also excellent. But even without the fish common at the Red Sea resorts, Cyprus does offer some very enjoyable diving and snorkeling sites such as the recent Jason Decaire Staylor underwater museum in Ayia Napa. A nearby dive center to Solaar Hotel is the Viking Dive center in Voroklini. (Photo by LTB)
