Whether you are visiting Cyprus for the first time or returning as an experienced diver, this category is your gateway to the island’s most iconic underwater landmarks.
What makes Wreck Diving in Cyprus so special is the variety. Cyprus offers massive world-famous wrecks, compact training wrecks, artificial reef ships and dramatic wreck structures that can be explored on different levels — from relaxed outside routes to advanced penetration dives.
Private Guided Wreck Diving in Cyprus
- All our experiences in Wreck Diving in Cyprus can be organised as private guided dives. That means no crowded groups and no rushed schedules. Instead, your wreck dive is planned around your certification level, comfort, experience and personal wishes.
- Whether you want to explore the outside of a wreck, focus on underwater photography, or work toward deeper wreck skills, Wreck Diving in Cyprus becomes a personalised adventure — calm, professional and unforgettable.
Why Wreck Diving in Cyprus Is So Popular
There are few places in Europe where Wreck Diving in Cyprus feels as accessible and rewarding. Visibility is often excellent, water temperatures are comfortable for much of the year, and many wrecks lie within recreational depths. This makes Wreck Diving in Cyprus ideal for certified divers who want extraordinary dives without extreme technical requirements — while still offering deeper options for advanced wreck enthusiasts.
Wrecks also attract marine life. Over time, shipwrecks become living reefs, bringing fish schools, hiding places for octopus and other creatures, and dramatic underwater scenes shaped by light and shadow. This natural transformation is part of what makes Wreck Diving in Cyprus so unique: it is never only about metal and structure, but about life returning to the sea.

Some Wreck Diving in Cyprus wrecks are best for wide-angle photography and relaxed exploration, others offer impressive cargo scenes and dramatic deck structures, and some are ideal for divers who want to develop wreck skills step by step.
