Cyprus is a place where the Mediterranean doesn’t just shimmer — it invites you below the surface. In this section of our Infothek, we introduce you to the underwater side of the island: not with lists or maps, but with stories, atmosphere, and insight. Each dive site we feature here has been personally selected by us — not because it’s the deepest or the most famous, but because it offers something special.
Whether it’s natural formations carved by time, sites of artistic or archaeological intrigue, or simply peaceful corners filled with marine life, these eight dive locations represent the heart of what we love to share with our guests.
What sets Sanyctours apart is the way we dive: always privately guided, always adapted to your pace and experience. No rush, no rigid groups — just you, your guide, and the sea. This part of the Infothek is for curious minds and adventurous spirits. Use it to learn more about each site, prepare for your own experience, or simply get inspired.
