Salt air and a bright horizon set the tempo: walk from a low concrete jetty into the Mediterranean and the sea takes over—cool, buoyant, and surprisingly loud with life. The Try Scuba session at Protaras’ Green Bay eases you into that other world with a short safety briefing, confined-water practice, then a supervised open-water dive where fish, rock ledges, and the occasional turtle cross your path.

Salt air and a bright horizon set the tempo: walk from a low concrete jetty into the Mediterranean and the sea takes over—cool, buoyant, and surprisingly loud with life. The Try Scuba session at Protaras’ Green Bay eases you into that other world with a short safety briefing, confined-water practice, then a supervised open-water dive where fish, rock ledges, and the occasional turtle cross your path.
Cyprus’ eastern coast is carved from Pleistocene limestone and shelved into shallow bays; those shelves collect Posidonia beds that sustain small fish and attract loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta). Protaras transformed in the 20th century from a fishing hamlet to a dive-friendly resort, but the shoreline still bears traces of boatyards and seaside cafés where crews trade local weather and swell reports.
Practical edge: the experience runs about four hours including pickup and drop-off, and is designed for beginners—no prior certification required. Expect shallow dives (usually under 12 m) and typical summer visibility of 10–20 m, cooler water in spring/fall, and calm, sheltered conditions in Green Bay. The session is broken into brief theory, hands-on skills in shallow water, then a guided dive with an instructor. Bring a swimsuit, reef-safe sunscreen, and a light rashguard or shorty if you get cold; the operator supplies full scuba kit. Medical restrictions apply for heart or spinal issues and pregnancy—declare them when booking. Time your dive for morning light to maximize visibility and to catch turtles while they feed. Stay aware of marine life etiquette: avoid touching seagrass and keep neutral buoyancy so you leave the reef and its residents as you found them.

Operators typically require minimum age and ask health details; people with heart conditions, recent surgeries, spinal injuries, or who are pregnant should not dive—declare conditions when booking.
Try Scuba dives are usually shallow (under ~12 m) and focus on sheltered bays where you can see small reef fish, rock formations, seagrass, and occasionally loggerhead turtles.
The activity can be canceled for bad weather; the listed cancellation policy allows a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance and operators may cancel for unsafe sea conditions.
