AMPHITHEATRE. A site to the north of Coral Bay with reasonably good access. The fascinating feature of this dive is what appears to be an amphitheatre at 9m which is actually a geological feature. Maximum depth 15m. AMPHORAE CAVES. There are number of caves to explore including the one that has amphorae encrusted in the roof. The American team of archaeologists who investigated the site believe this is due to movements on the sea bed over the last two thousand years. Depth 12m. BREAM BAY. Popular for its interesting rock formation, Bream Bay offers a mixed sand and rock bottom in 22 – 27m. Its normally clear water makes it an attractive morning dive. Look for moray eels in the small holes and grouper in the gullies off the main ‘bay’. BUBBLES. A rock bottom seabed with large holes in the floor leading to a series of interconnecting caverns and overhangs. Called ‘Bubbles’ because of the divers’ air filtering through the rocks. With a maximum depth of 9m there is plenty of time to enjoy this site and its marine life. JANCHOR REEF. The anchor is dropped in 24m and the seabed swiftly slopes down to flat sand at 32m. An attractive and popular morning dive with an old anchor at 27m. Groupers are often spotted close to the sand. LOFOS. It is a beautiful scenic dive with interesting rock formations and good marine life. With diving depths ranging from 8 to 17m and an interesting small cave to explore, Lofos is suitable for both the novice and experienced diver. MANIJIN ISLAND. A very popular dive, this island is actually just a rock as it is small enough to dive around it on a multilevel dive. There are many features en-route: a drop-off, caves, archway and blowhole. One cave is spectacularly covered with pink and purple calciferous algae. Please allow an extra 1 – 1,5 hrs for this dive as the island is situated further up the coast. Depths 6 – 22m. PALLOURA. Situated 1,5kms off the coast, there are overhangs and small drops to explore. Look for shoals of Jacks and Snappers hiding under overhangs. Depth 22 – 36m. MONTY’S REEF. This sheltered dive has a number of small gullies, overhangs and drops ranging 2 – 4m. There is usually a good variety of small marine life. ORPHURUS. 10 minutes from the harbour close to the “wreck on the reef”. There are several small gullies and overhangs to investigate. A great indentation in the sea bed with overhangs all the way round makes for a good dive. PASCAL’S REEF. Made of big gullies, small drops and lots of crevasses, this dive offers interesting marine life. There are lots of sponges and groupers are often spotted in this area. THE VALLEY OF CAVES. As its name suggests this valley has a number of small caves. There are also interesting craters close by and one with a swim-through. The attractive overhangs make homes for small fish such as cardinals. Depths ranging from 9 to 12m. WHITE RIVER. This is a lovely shore dive just into the Akamas Peninsula. The cove gives access to a very interesting maze of gullies. Good marine life in the area. WRECK OF THE ACHILLEAS. On a sandy bottom lies the wreck of a Greek vessel which mysteriously exploded and sank at 11m of water in 1975. There are 3 main sections to visit, the most popular feature being the bronze propeller on the upturned stern and there are still some complete portholes (not removable). WRECK OF THE VERA K. This favoured afternoon dive is 25 minutes from the harbour. The Vera K was a Lebanese freighter that ran aground in 1972 and was blown up as a hazard to shipping in 1974. It is still in four main sections and the bridge is fairly intact. It lies completely submerged in a crater at 11m. Close to the wreck there is an archway and a series of narrow tunnels suitable for experienced divers. 100’ FOOT REEF. An entrancing dive in depths between 26 – 35m. There are number of small drops and caves to explore. Search for octopi or morays in the smaller holes and small fish in the gullies and overhangs. If you look up to the surface, the dive boat should be clearly visible. WALL STREET. A long gulley with many overhangs and small caves is the main feature of this popular site. Look for sponges and encrusted marine life on the walls of the gulley. In the small caves you may find grouper and have a look for the stone anchor lying on the bottom. Depth 25 to 30m. NIGHT DIVE. There is a submerged line on rock which are the remnants of the original Roman Harbour wall. The area is of an archaeological importance and surveys are still being carried out. An excellent site for the first dives, night dives and training. Maximum depth 6m. SEA CAVES. Another site full of caves to explore. One large cavern has a hole in the floor leading to another cavern with a large exit. For the very experienced diver there is a system of tunnels over 80m long. Maximum depth 9m.
