Step from shore into the clear waters of Protaras for a guided Try Scuba experience at Green Bay. This four-hour session includes briefing, in-water skills practice, and a shallow guided dive where you may meet fish and loggerhead turtles.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Salt air and a bright horizon set the tempo: walk from a low concrete jetty into the Mediterranean and the sea takes over—cool, buoyant, and surprisingly loud with life. The Try Scuba session at Protaras’ Green Bay eases you into that other world with a short safety briefing, confined-water practice, then a supervised open-water dive where fish, rock ledges, and the occasional turtle cross your path.

Wildlife
History
Eastern Cyprus has a long maritime tradition; Protaras evolved from fishing hamlets into a dive and tourism center in the 20th century while local communities retain coastal boat and fishing culture.
Conservation
Posidonia seagrass meadows are ecologically vital—avoid contact and use reef-safe products; local groups monitor turtle nesting and encourage low-impact visits.

Hydrate before you dive
Drink water and avoid alcohol—dehydration increases risk of seasickness and post-dive discomfort.
Protect your skin and reefs
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a UV rashguard; Protaras has strong sun and seagrass beds that benefit from chemical-free protection.
Arrive with basic mobility in mind
You’ll need to step into shallow water and climb back onto a small jetty or boat—bring slip-resistant footwear for the transfer.
Listen closely during skills practice
The confined-water drills set your buoyancy and regulator comfort—ask questions; it makes the open-water dive safer and more enjoyable.
Swimsuit and quick-dry shorts
Comfortable base layer under the wetsuit and for surface transfers.
