More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat eases off the Protaras shore and the Mediterranean opens like a slow door—clear water, a soft chop, and sunlight cutting anywhere a fish dares to cross. You step into warm shallow water under an instructor’s calm voice, kit snapping into place. The first breath through a regulator is small and immediate: the sea accepts you and the surface noise falls away.
