Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and sperm whales - Nissia Caves offers some of Larnaca's richest cave diving. Water ranges 18-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Nissia Caves offers a straightforward cave diving experience, maxing out at 17 metres. We find it's a good spot for intermediate divers looking to gain confidence in overhead environments without anything too challenging. Expect to navigate a series of small caverns and swim-throughs, with light still visible from the entrances for much of the dive. It’s a solid choice for an afternoon exploring the Cypriot coastline.
