    Orfoz, a shallow site in Larnaca, sits at just 4m, making it ideal for longer bottom times and less intense diving. We’ve found it’s a good spot for snorkelers too, or divers looking to really take their time exploring the seabed. Expect to see some small Mediterranean species, like juvenile bream and maybe a flounder or two tucked into the sand. It’s certainly not a deep wreck, but for a calm, easy dive, Orfoz delivers.
