Claire and Ivi lead this three-hour beginner scuba course from Protaras, with hotel pickup, equipment, safety practice, and a guided descent at Green Bay or a similar site. You spend about 45 to 50 minutes underwater, reaching up to 10 meters with a maximum of four participants. Fish are likely, turtles are possible, and photos may be available.

“Amazing experience. Took my 2 children, 11 and 14. Claire explained everything very clearly, we got kitted up and drove 5 mins to the dive site. My 14 yr old and I, after a few minutes practicing where we could kneel, went down with Ivi to the statues and had a great 45 min dive. My 11 yr old was a little scared so Claire, after a chat with him, stayed at about 1 meter and followed us so he could see everything. The ladies could not have made us feel more safe or been more patient and helpful. We also paid for some amazing photos (not expensive at all)…”

“The med 3 catamaran was a lovely experience. The places that we docked to swim were amazing, didn't see any turtles which was a shame. The catamaran itself was lovely and spacious, also not to full which was nice. The food, all inclusive drinks and all the staff were fabulous and really make it enjoyable for you. Also catamaran is kept very clean. I would definitely recommend this trip and it was worth every penny paid. They even do non alcohol cocktails and alcohol ones, which both were very good. This was run by East Coast cruises”

Start at Yellow Fins Scuba Centre in Protaras with a safety briefing, then practice breathing and basic skills at Green Bay. With your instructor beside you, follow the seabed to a maximum of 5 meters for about 40 minutes. Turtles and fish are possible, and underwater statues lie farther down.

“We were a group of six people, I was assured that we would dive together and in the end we didn't see each other in the whole dive, no pictures together with our children. There were 2 groups and the duration was not the same and our group did not even go down to see the statues.... Very big disappointment.”
