Would recommend Cydive - All well explained and informed by Pasquel in the pool before entering the sea for my first scuba experience. A most enjoyable dive and felt well supported at all times.

You won’t regret it! - Amazing experience! The whole staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. We were lucky enough to see a turtle on our dive. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Unforgettable - Me and my partner had the best time with Mick and Charlie! Mick has an amazing way of teaching you and even though it was our first time, he made us feel so comfortable. Charlie took a beautiful video of us and so many pictures to remember. It really is worth the price. Even the fruit at the end was delicious! If we are ever back in Paphos this is the first thing we’re coming back to do. Thank you Mick! Hope we see you again

Highly Recommended - We had registered as a couple. On the day of the dive, we found out that we were the only participants for the course. We basically had a private course. 😀 The course was absolutely professional and Kris, our guide, always made me, as an absolute beginner, feel safe. After a short theoretical introduction, followed by a short introduction in the pool, we then went straight into the sea on foot. A fantastic experience that I can only recommend. All the staff at the diving center were also extremely friendly and personable. Tip: book directly at the diving center.

Great taste of diving - Skilled instructors and clear training ahead of the dive. This was my first experience diving with an oxygen tank and equipment, and the experience itself was heavier than expected - but absolutely worth it. When booking you are told to download the PADI app to take a safety/health course and they also review this on the day. They have divers with many years of experience who know what they are doing, are patient and consider everyone in the group. Remember that there is never any guarantee of seeing a lot of life in the sea, on my trip we therefore only saw a few small fish here and there. You also get the course approved in the PADI app after the dive. Perfect trip for those who want a taste of what diving has to offer Remember to go to the toilet, preferably twice, before putting the suit on!
