Cyprus Marine Life

Discover the Mediterranean's underwater ecosystem

Loggerhead Sea Turtle

The most common sea turtle in the Mediterranean. These gentle giants can often be spotted in shallow waters, especially around sea grass beds.

Green Sea Turtle

Less common than loggerheads but occasionally seen in Cyprus waters, particularly in protected bays.

Stingray

Graceful bottom-dwelling rays that glide along the seafloor. Often seen in sandy areas and shallow bays.

Seahorse

Delicate and fascinating creatures that are masters of camouflage. Often found in seagrass beds and around rocky areas.

Nomad Jellyfish

Captivating but dangerous drifters. These jellies can grow up to 10 kg (22 lbs) with bell diameters of 40-60 cm (16"-24"), reaching up to 90 cm (35.4"). Be sure to steer clear as they have venomous stinging cells in their mouth arms that can cause very painful injuries.

Squid

Intelligent cephalopods with remarkable color-changing abilities. Often seen in deeper waters and around wrecks.

Starfish

Beautiful echinoderms found on the seafloor. Various species can be spotted in Cyprus waters, adding color to the underwater landscape.

Mediterranean Parrotfish

Found in shallow reefs and rocky shores, these colorful fish feed on algae with their distinctive parrot-like beak. They play a crucial role as reef "doctors," keeping Mediterranean reefs healthy by removing dead and expanding algae, much like their tropical cousins shape coral reefs.

Lionfish

A major invasive species in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean, rapidly spreading from the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. Thriving in warmer waters, they devastate native fish populations due to their voracious appetite and lack of predators. Cyprus is a hotspot for this invasion, leading to significant research and removal efforts.

Marbled Rock Crab

Pachygrapsus marmoratus, widespread in Mediterranean coastal waters. Recognizable by its dark violet-brown carapace and reddish-orange legs and claws. Found in intertidal and shallow subtidal zones, often on rocky or mixed substrates.

This is was an absolute highlight of our 5 days in Cyprus! Planning the trip was very easy and Lucia was able to pick us up from our accommodation (and return us) as well advising us on perfect sea conditions and seeing if we could move our trip to accommodate this to give us the best experience. We moved our trip to the day of our flight after she advised conditions were better and she picked us up an hour earlier to ensure we could still go on the trip and make our flight. The trip itself was excellent, we both felt very safe, learnt loads about free diving/snorkelling, the underwater sculpture museum and the artist as well as the surrounding area. Fins, wetsuits, mask and snorkels were provided as well as some welcomed homemade snacks! I would highly recommend this trip for the experience, the service and the company, thank you Lucia!

I would absolutely recommend this experience! It’s the perfect way to spend a day on the Southeast Coast of Cyprus. I had not snorkeled before and this trip left me wanting more. Lucia and Jaroslav are very communicative and interested people, which made the experience even better.

The snorkeling tour and first experiences in free diving were very well guided by Lucia and Jaro. There is no need to worry about safety as you just do what you are comfortable with. The underwater museum, the rocky shore and some caves were highly enjoyable. It Was a great day even topped in the evening with nice fotos of the diving.

This was by far our best experience in Cyprus. We had so much fun with Lucia - she was super thoughtful, kind, patient and we enjoyed our time with her so much. It was our first snorkeling and diving experience and she made it so easy. We felt super safe and comfortable with her. The underwater scenery is breathtaking (not literally because Lucia showed us how to breathe 😉), the water is magical, all in all 10/10 would recommend and will do again as soon as we come back to Cyprus!

Thanks to Jaro for this wonderful experience! Since my last snorkeling trip was years ago, I was a little scared, but Jaro quickly took it from me:) the museum is very nice and absolutely worth seeing. Another advantage was that we were just a small group, which made it even more relaxed. Thanks very much. Melanie

Great experience and Jaroslav was a fantastic host! I was worried that my swimming skills weren’t on par for the trip or 22 degrees water might be too cold, but it was perfect, the sights were fantastic and they had all necessary equipment to make my experience super easy and enjoyable. Nice and healthy snacks were the cherry on top. Liked it so much, I’m joining Jaroslav on a hike tomorrow 😁

Great experience with great value! It was lovely how we got to go to two different locations for snorkeling; both were nice but different. The experience is good even if you're not a great swimmer (me). If you're a more experienced swimmer, Lucia gives guests the opportunity to try deep diving. Plus Lucia provided some healthy snacks, he makes great zucchini bread.
