Overview

DIVING FOR CERTIFIED/LICENSED DIVERS

We dive most days around the Protaras and Cape Greko area. These dive sites offer excellent conditions with visibility up to 30m. The sea is usually very calm and the currents are mild, if at all.

Our most popular dive site is Green Bay which is only a few minutes from Poseidon dive centre. This is ideal for Discover Scuba divers and also certified divers, especially those who haven't dived for a while. Green Bay offers an easy entry and exit so is ideal for those not able to climb rocks to get in and out of the water.

All equipment for your dive, is included in our price.

Dive with Poseidon, the #1 rated dive centre in Protaras!

What's Included

  • Tea and coffee Coffee and/or Tea

One Local Guided Dive (with optional second dive) for Certified/Licensed Divers

After completing paperwork on arrival, which will include a medical questionnaire and risk and liability statement, it is time to assemble your equipment and try on suits, boots and mask.
Between us we will decide which dive site is most suitable and, after a dive briefing, we will depart for the dive.

Upon returning to the dive centre refreshments will be served, log books will be completed and any photos that were taken during the dive can be viewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

(9)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Local Guided Dives (for certified/licensed divers) cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
