Situated under the cliffs on the south side of Cape Greko (close to the Tunnels and Caves Dive Site) is Canyon. The entry point is first accessed by a bit of off-road driving and then a long challenging walk down some cliffs followed by two vertical ladder to the waters edge. A good level of fitness and strength is required. That being said the challenging entry is worth it, with experienced divers being rewarded with a series of dramatic rock formations – such as steep walls, boulders and swim throughs. The marine life is less abundant here than at other sites, but divers will still spot damselfish, grouper, moray eels, octopi and stingrays, with most seen above 20 metres, enchanting all level of diver.

This is one of my favourite dive sites in Cyprus. As you can see from my photos the site is very picturesque. Access and egress is quite challenging from the shore but the dive is well worth it.
