I fell in love with diving - I spent a week in Cyprus during which I did many amazing things, but when folks ask me what was the most memorable thing I did in Cyprus, I always excitedly say "I tried scuba diving!" Seriously though, what a mind-blowing incredible experience this was! I'm a swimmer but had never actually dived anywhere with diving gear, and even though I'd always wanted to try it there was always some sort of uneasiness thinking about it. Not with Cydive though! Kris, our instructor, was very friendly, very calm and reassuring, made sure everybody was comfortable and knew the necessary basics. We did a practice session in the pool before we went for the actual dive, so when we went to the sea everybody in the group felt confident and calm. The dive itself was one of the most amazing experiences in my life, one that I will very much like to do again and again in the future, only there won't be any anxiety anymore. We spent almost half an hour underwater during which Kris took us to see several underwater points of interest, for example a big anchor from an old ship, some marine life, pieces of ancient pottery and so on. When we resurfaced everybody was in very high spirits, full of excitement and only had the best things to say about the experience. Thank you Kris and team for this unforgettable experience and I really hope to dive with you again sometime!

I was a little bit scared before we started but in the end it was a great experience, our instructor was amazing,she told me to hold her hand if I am scared but in the end I didnt need to... I was never interested in diving before and now I want to do this again 😊

1st dive with cydive - Myself and my son arrived at cydive was greeted by a lovely receptionist who booked us in. Pavlos was our trainer for the duration and was amazing and all staff was so friendly. This was our first time doing this and Pavlos made it feel so good and explained things so well. The dive was amazing seeing all the sights and will definitely look at doing another dive. Can't wait to see the pictures I purchased as this will make it such a great memory. Thanks to all of cydive for making mine and my sons holiday so special
