Why Freedive in Cyprus?
Cyprus offers some of the best freediving conditions in the Mediterranean. With water temperatures ranging from 17°C in winter to 28°C in summer and visibility often exceeding 30 meters, you can train comfortably year-round.
The island's diverse underwater landscape includes historic shipwrecks accessible to freedivers, sea caves, and thriving marine ecosystems. At Underwater Journeys, we operate across Cyprus—from the rocky coastlines of Protaras to the famous Zenobia wreck in Larnaca Bay.
Whether you're a beginner taking your first breath-hold dive or an experienced freediver looking to train in ideal conditions, Cyprus provides the perfect backdrop for your underwater journey.
