*If sold out or you are a group of 5+ please contact us directly as we may be able to organise an additional guide for you* Please note that we offer two start times, and while both timings offer a great experience we generally recommend the morning slot as the weather is cooler and there is a greater chance of seeing the turtles. We are certified providers of the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program, which is specifically designed for people to first experience the wonders of scuba diving. During a Discover Scuba Diving lesson our experts will explain the basics of diving and introduce you to the diving equipment. In shallow water you’ll have the chance to complete some diving techniques, breathe underwater for the first time and experience what it’s like to swim beneath the waves and see into our underwater world. Our diving location, Green Bay, is absolutely ideal for beginners; with shallow calm waters and things to see like Fish Rock and some small underwater statues, Subject to availability we provide a free edited video of your dive as part of your booking; examples of our videos (and the dive itself) can be found on our YouTube page @Nautilusscubadiving.

Awesome experience. I was nervous as I have previously tried diving, and enjoyed it but was getting water when I breathed. Ben took his time with me, explained everything and was very patient. No gear issues this time and a fab dive. Absolutely loved it; could not recommend Ben highly enough.

None of us had dived at all before and were all excited, but a bit nervous. Ben was so calm, thorough and patient. We all felt very safe with him and had an amazing time. My son said it was one of the best experiences of his life!

Great experience! The language barrier stressed us out but Ben was very pedagogical, he managed to reassure us and take the time for us both in explanations and in practice!

I was there with my boyfriend at the beginning of September and we loved it. We both had no experience in diving. Ben explained everything to us super vividly and led us slowly so we felt very safe. When I had a brief hint of panic underwater, he was able to calm me down super without words, so I didn't have to stop. Can only recommend to everyone:) The tour is in English but very understandable. There is a lot of emphasis on everyone understanding.

I wanted our family to dive at MUSAN in Ayia Napa and having researched about 20 different diving centres, this one seemed exactly what they wanted. They offered a hotel pickup and drop off, DSD - Discover Scuba Diving, which was classroom short input with a familiarisation exercise and initial dive from the beach at Green Bay, Protaras. The 2nd dive was a drive to MUSAN at the underwater sculpture park in Ayia Napa. This was truly amazing and our 10 year old son took to it like a duck to water. Co owners Rich and Sam were so friendly, knowledgeable, calm and patient with us while we brushed up on our previous basic knowledge of SCUBA diving. We felt so safe with them and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. The kit was all really good quality and fitted perfectly. We will look forward to advancing our skills with Nautilus next year, I highly recommend their packages.

We had an incredible scuba diving experience at Nautilus Scuba Diving Centre — a mother and two teenagers, all first-timers, and it couldn’t have gone better! From the very beginning, the team made us feel safe and confident. The explanations were clear and thorough, and we practiced with close supervision and patient guidance. Every step was handled with care, and the instructors were fantastic at making sure we understood and felt comfortable. Once in the water, our guide stayed close the entire time, constantly checking on us, pointing out beautiful underwater sights, and capturing amazing photos and videos. It was reassuring to know someone experienced was always watching over us, It never felt scary or overwhelming, even for the teens. The dive itself was magical — not frightening at all, just pure wonder. The edited video we received afterward was such a special touch and a perfect way to remember the day. Highly recommend this experience to families or anyone looking for a safe, professional, and truly memorable introduction to scuba diving. Thank you, Nautilus team, for making it so special!

We had a wonderful scuba diving experience with our instructor, Rich. Not only was he professional and patient, but also great fun to be around! We had some really good chats which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He explained everything clearly, made us feel completely at ease in the water, and ensured we had a memorable dive. I would happily do it again and definitely plan to take my Open Water certification with him.

My Son did his 1st Scuba dive with instructor Sam, she was amazing, my Son has Autism & it can take him a while to do things. Sam was so patient, helpful & never gave up to help my Son be able to achieve his wish to experience Scuba diving. I highly recommend & can't wait to do it all again next year on holiday. Thank you again so much for an amazing experience. Claire.

Went scuba diving with Rich and Sam, my first time. They were both great, very patient as it wasn't natural to me, but by the end I enjoyed it, it fact I went a second time! Will try to get my kids to try it. I'd highly recommend it and this company!
