The water is clear and bright as you step from the small bay two minutes from the dive centre; sunlight fragments on the surface and the instructor’s voice drills simple commands while bubbles lift like punctuation.

This Try Scuba Diving session in Protaras introduces first-time divers to basic gear, breathing techniques and hand signals before a shallow guided dive. Cyprus’s east coast has seen millennia of seafaring — Phoenician traders and local fishing communities shaped the shoreline — and the reefs here are part geological limestone outcrops, part centuries of marine life building habitat.
Expect short swims over rocky reefs, seagrass beds and small walls. The seabed is Mediterranean limestone and sand; visibility on calm days runs high and the bay’s protection makes the environment beginner-friendly. Instructors often point out wrasse, small groupers and occasionally a loggerhead turtle gliding through the blue.
Practical notes: the experience runs about three hours and includes private transportation, full scuba kit and complimentary underwater photos and video. Morning slots deliver calmer seas and cooler light; afternoons warm the surface but can bring more boat traffic. Children from eight upward can participate; disclose any heart or respiratory conditions and avoid diving if pregnant.
Plan to arrive hydrated and well-rested, with a swim suit and light cover-up for briefing time. Focus on slow, steady breathing and equalizing ears as you descend — buoyancy and comfort are the skills you’ll take from the bay. The team’s local knowledge makes this a low-pressure introduction to the Mediterranean undersea, with safety and memories prioritized in equal measure.

Protaras sits on Cyprus’s eastern headland where historic fishing villages and ancient maritime routes shaped local culture; the limestone shorelines bear traces of long-term coastal use.
Local operators emphasize low-impact diving — avoid touching marine life, maintain buoyancy to protect seagrass and report any illegal fishing activity to help preserve reefs.
