Tunnels and Caves Cyprus – Exploring the Hidden World Beneath Cape Greco

Set within the rugged beauty of the Cape Greco National Park, Tunnels and Caves Cyprus is one of Cyprus’s most visually striking and geologically fascinating dive sites.

Reserved for certified divers, this site offers a natural labyrinth of submerged rock formations, tunnels, and cavern-like passages that open into shafts of filtered sunlight.

Tunnels and Caves is an underwater landscape sculpted by time – and best experienced up close.

 

Tunnels and Caves – Cyprus’ Most Atmospheric Swim-Through Dive

Tunnels and Caves is one of the most exciting and visually dramatic dive sites in Cyprus. Located off the eastern coastline, Tunnels and Caves is famous for its natural underwater passages — carved by time, shaped by the sea and illuminated by shifting beams of light.

For divers who love exploration, rock formations and cinematic scenery, Tunnels and Caves offers an experience that feels like a true underwater adventure.

What Makes Tunnels and Caves Special

The name describes the site perfectly. Beneath the surface, divers find a network of swim-throughs, tunnels and cave-like chambers created by erosion and natural collapse of rock layers. These formations form corridors and openings that you can swim through in a calm and controlled way, always guided by light and visibility.

The atmosphere at Tunnels and Caves is constantly changing. In one moment you dive through a shaded tunnel, and seconds later you emerge into open blue water with sunlight flooding the scene. This contrast between darkness and bright Mediterranean light is what makes Tunnels and Caves so unique — and so popular for underwater filming and photography.

Underwater Landscapes & Light Effects

A key highlight of Tunnels and Caves is its natural structure. The rock formations create depth, perspective and “frames” that make every dive feel like a moving film scene. Openings in the rocks allow sunlight to penetrate the tunnels, creating light beams and reflections that transform the environment throughout the day.

This is why Tunnels and Caves is often described as one of the most cinematic dive spots in Cyprus: nature itself creates the stage.

Marine Life 

While the site is famous for its rock scenery, Tunnels and Caves also offers a lively underwater world. Fish are often seen moving in and out of the tunnels, and curious marine creatures hide in cracks and crevices. If you explore slowly, you may spot octopus, cuttlefish or other hidden life forms that enjoy the shelter of the rocks.

Even without large reefs, Tunnels and Caves feels alive — because the formations create natural habitats and protection for many species.

Who Is Tunnels and Caves Suitable For?

Tunnels and Caves is ideal for certified divers who enjoy exploration and want something more adventurous than an open reef dive. The site is not about deep diving — it’s about atmosphere, movement and discovery.

Due to the swim-through sections, good buoyancy control and calm diving behaviour are important. With a professional guide, Tunnels and Caves remains a safe and unforgettable experience that rewards divers with some of the most impressive underwater scenery Cyprus has to offer.
