Set along the sparkling eastern coast of Cyprus, near the vibrant town of Protaras in the Ammochostos district, Green Bay invites divers to immerse themselves beneath its crystal-clear waters for an adventure unlike any other. This 3-hour dive experience, designed for ages 10 and up, offers a rare blend of marine exploration and cultural wonder. Here, the seafloor isn’t just home to typical Mediterranean marine life but also features a captivating underwater statue garden that creates a surreal setting for diving enthusiasts at every skill level.
Green Bay’s underwater statue garden is the star attraction, showcasing an array of enigmatic sculptures including a striking horse statue that has become an iconic photo subject. These statues offer a remarkable backdrop for underwater photography, turning your dive into a blend of sport, art, and discovery. The vivid marine life surrounding the statues—colorful fish darting through open arches and intricate rock formations—adds dynamic vibrancy to the serene underwater landscape.
Beyond the sculptures, divers can engage in the exciting ritual of fish feeding, a highlight that brings you close to schools of Mediterranean sea bream and damselfish. This interactive element not only provides unforgettable close encounters with local wildlife but also reinforces the conservation-friendly approach of the operators. After your dive, the experience includes a relaxed moment to enjoy refreshments and swap stories, allowing guests to relive their thrilling underwater encounter before returning comfortably to their hotel.
Protaras itself is an excellent base for this journey, offering seaside charm and easy access to the dive site at Pernera 20, a location known for its stable water conditions and excellent visibility. The dive experience is expertly managed for safety and enjoyment, with a duration of around three hours—long enough to explore deeply yet suitable for divers of moderate experience who are comfortable with basic diving skills.
What distinguishes Green Bay’s diving experience is this combination of natural beauty and artistry, making it a standout destination in the Mediterranean dive scene. The underwater statues add an unusual dimension rarely found in other dive locations and Park operators focus on eco-conscious practices to protect the delicate marine environment.
