Ocean View Diving is based in Ayia Napa and runs dives around Ayia Napa and Protaras. Beginners can try an introductory dive with an instructor, while those who want to continue can take SDI and TDI courses. Some theory can be completed in advance. Practical sessions, minimum ages and arrangements for children depend on the course.

Trips reach bays and rocky stretches of the east coast. The centre also takes certified divers to the wreck of the Zenobia ferry off Larnaca. Tell your instructor about your training and experience when choosing between shore and boat dives. Before booking, ask about group size, certification requirements and equipment hire.
