ABC Dive Ltd - Paphos & Coral Bay
The team at ABC Dive Ltd are exactly the kind of people you want looking after you in Cyprus. We’ve found them to be genuinely passionate about diving, which translates into an excellent experience whether you’re just starting out or looking to explore some of the more interesting local sites. They’re a solid PADI 5 Star centre, so you know the training is top-notch, but it’s their enthusiasm and local knowledge that really makes the difference. What we love about ABC Dive Ltd is their approach to the local diving. Instead of just hitting the same old spots, they’re great at tailoring trips. If you want to spend a day poking around the caves and swim-throughs near Coral Bay, they’ll sort it. Or maybe you’re more interested in deeper wreck exploration, like the Vera K. They know the currents, they know the light, and they’ll suggest the best time of day for a particular dive. We’d suggest chatting with them about your interests; they’re full of good ideas. Expect to see plenty of octopus hiding in the rocks and, if you’re lucky, a turtle cruising by. The visibility around here is consistently good in summer, often pushing 25 meters, giving everything that deep sapphire glow.
