The first breath underwater is small and decisive: air from a regulator, a guide’s hand at your shoulder, the bay’s light folding around you. In Green Bay, just off Protaras’ eastern shore, shallow limestone shelves drop into clear water where small rock features and man-made statues wait below the surface.
