History
Cyprus’s coasts have hosted trade and maritime activity for millennia; diving here occasionally reveals archaeological finds and modern wrecks that reflect that seafaring past.
Conservation
Local dive operators emphasize low-impact practices—no-touch diving, reef-safe sunscreens, and removing debris when found—to protect the slowly recovering Mediterranean reef habitats.
Reserve your spot on the Jubilee Shoals guided boat dives today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Certification check
Bring proof of Open Water certification and your logbook; deeper sections require recent experience.
Weight and buoyancy
Do a proper weight check on the surface—good buoyancy keeps you off delicate coral plateaus.
Hydrate and surface rest
Use the surface interval to rehydrate and snack; dehydration raises nitrogen uptake and fatigue.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen and avoid touching marine life to protect fragile habitats.
Dive computer
Tracks depth and no-decompression limits for safe profiles across two dives.
Wetsuit (3–5mm or semidry)
Spring water can be cool; thermal protection keeps you comfortable on longer bottom times.

Mask and snorkel
A well-fitting mask improves visibility and a snorkel saves air during surface swims.
Surface marker buoy (SMB)
Helpful for group drift control and signaling the boat during ascents.
