Dive Cyprus with Dive Stop

Established in 2018, Dive Stop is an English owned BSAC training centre located on the South-eastern coastline of Cyprus. Will Stratford, owner of Dive Stop, has been diving for over 30 years, teaching for over 15 years and diving in Cyprus for over 20 years making Dive Stop the No 1 diving centre in Cyprus!

Whether you are a novice ocean diver looking for your first warm water diving, a seasoned professional diver, or an experienced technical diver, Cyprus is the perfect destination for you offering a huge variety of wall, reef, cavern, and wreck dives. Diving in Cyprus is different every time.

Dive Stop are fortunate enough to own their own purpose-built dive Rib allowing us to offer ultimate flexibility and the ability to offer you exclusive dive sites!

Marine life in Cyprus is exceptional from large schools of Mediterranean species to amber jacks, tuna, large grouper as well as some of the tamest turtles you will ever dive with. Diving in the crystal clear warm blue water can feel like being in an aquarium. 

The Zenobia Wreck one of top 10 wrecks in the world!

Among other exceptional wrecks, we are fortunate to have the almighty Zenobia wreck just a short drive from our premier scuba diving facility. This epic wreck will blow your mind and will leave you with a huge grin on your face after every dive.

There are countless places to dive on this 174m wreck which sank on her maiden voyage in 1980 whilst laden with 104 articulated lorries. Technical issues with the ballast system caused her to eventually sink on to her port side just 1500 metres from Larnaca harbour.

Divers of all levels can enjoy this awesome wreck as the deck of the Zenobia is just 17m beneath the surface with the bottom of the ship lying on the seabed at 42m. Diving on this wreck is simply breath taking; there is so much to see and so many places to explore. One thing is for sure diving on the Zenobia will make you come back for more!
