Dive-site story
Along the rocky Protaras coastline near Cape Greco, natural archways, shallow swim-throughs, and a roof opening known as The Hole define the terrain. Overhead light cuts through the aperture to illuminate sand patches set among Posidonia oceanica meadows. The protected limestone shelf provides access for introductory cave and cavern skill practice.
