Grear experience and amazing instructor Kris,who was both supportive and firm, very knowledgeable and positive. The experience both the initial practice in the swimming-pool and the proper dive in the sea was very well-organized and conducted with caution and attention to details. Kris' response to any problems were immediate and his calm manner had positive effect on others. Kris was very patient with my 11-year old daughter when she struggled at some point in the sea and had adjusted the pace and the activity. Thank you, Kris! You've been amazing and we'll always cherish the memories of our first underwater experience in your company! Highly recommend this experience to everybody!

Amazing day! Super professional and we’re on point with the training. We felt very secure and confident going into the sea. Asher (spelt Asia I think) was incredibly patient with us and really helpful with all our questions. She had good banter and the camera man did some amazing work of getting good snapshots too. Thank you so much!!

I had a solo dive with Chris (nearly off-season) and he was a great instructor. The water wasn't too cold, and 30 minutes long enough for most beginners.

Cydive looked after our family during a short holiday, with one of us getting Open Water certified, and the rest of us recreationally diving. The welcoming, well laid out centre is located conveniently in Paphos, within easy reach of some great sites: wrecks, caves and reefs full of life. The staff are top notch - professional, calm and friendly, with nothing too much trouble. I’d give them six stars if I could, and I’d hope to come back again for more exploring of the beautiful Cypriot seascapes.

We, a group of 12 17 year old divers, had an incredible experience with CyDive, in order to share underwater eco discovery with ISOP students. Asha, Pascal and their team welcomed us warmly and had us understand the stakes of sea preservation, scientific research and pleasure. Our school project on sustainability and sports will build green Europe of Education thanks Erasmus+.

Myself and my partner visited last year and did a the training. Unfortunately we did not get qualified within the year, but we loved scuba diving so much last year we decided to go for the training again! We had a blast just as much as we did the first time. This time we had time to go on another dive which we could do since completing the training. This time we did a boat dive! I was very nervous as there was a lot of experienced divers, but our dive-masters looked after us as new divers and we stuck to the simple stuff, which I was very happy with. Overall, Cydive is the best place to go diving in Cyprus! They take care of you like one of their own. My partner and I are definitely going for the qualification and (hopefully!) doing our referral dives here in the future. Thank you Cydive!
