White River

White River gives you something a little different for Cyprus, and that’s why we like it so much. It’s a canyon dive, essentially a natural channel carved through white rock. Imagine swimming through a narrow, sun-dappled slot in the rock face, sometimes only a few metres wide, before it opens out into deeper water. The light play here is fantastic, especially mid-morning, with rays slicing through the water column. You’re weaving your way down to about 25 metres, and while the usual Mediterranean suspects are present, it’s the topography that really shines. Keep an eye out for Savigny’s Brittle Stars clinging to the walls, and those Shore Feather Duster Worms retracting their crowns as you drift past. It’s an intermediate dive, mainly because of the potential for a bit of surge in the narrower sections, but it’s nothing too tricky. We’d suggest going on a calm day to fully appreciate the peaceful drift.
