Diving in Northern Cyprus :
 PARADISE : Paradise is just another Top Spot of
the Zephyros Reef that stretches out in open sea, about three
kilometers off the coast and Sun Set Beach. It is the deepest
site at the particular Reef complex. Recommended for experienced
divers due to the depths. Due to the whole surrounding a diver
will find marine life galore and an unbelievable variety of
marine species of all kind and sizes. Furthermore, Paradise
includes lots of cuts, little holes and canyons, worth for
a closer look.

ZEYKO:
Good
for novices due to the shallow reef top, underwater mountain,
sloping down to greater depths, rocks scattered around everywhere,
a torch will be very useful for a closer inspection of holes
and crevices, lots of groupers and Sea breams of all size
can be found under every rock, it`s impressive to see all
the schooling Monk fish close to the reef top and the surface,
good for wide angel photography.

POWER
STATION:
Diving
Power Station stands for a daily trip with two divers. Sleep
slopes, high peaks of rocks, holes and cracks in the rocks
and boulders dominate the scenery, but also a dense
population of local fish like Groupers, Sea Breams, Parrotfish,
Amber jacks and schools of Mackerels (sep-oct), are also part
of this unique site, which boost of marine life of all kind
and convinces by its amazing underwater scenery.

FRED
:
The
scenery of this site is not really breathtaking, just a long
ridge of rocks close to the harbour entrance of Girne.
But the point is that it definitely matches the same
fish. They have been used to the encounters with divers for
a long time, being fed by them since. An excellent spot for
the filmmakers, and photographers or for divers, who likes
this kind of intensive fish-watching only.
(Depth
: 16 m, max 26m)
KARPAZ
WRECK:
The
Citti Di Alesandria is completely broken up, but the hull
can still be dived in some bigger parts. The engine lays away
from the hull within an acceptable swimming distance, while
the propeller and the anchor can be found just in one line.
Groupers, Amber jacks, Snappers, Octopus and smaller monk
fish gather around.
(Depth
: min 6m, max 15m)
