Cyprus - Watersports - Snorkelling

There is plenty to see underwater, even within a few yards of the shore if you are a beginner at this sport. The shallows teem with tiny fish, sea anemones and urchins cling to the rocks and, if you are lucky, you may even see an octopus slithering past. But it's well worth heading out to the more rocky shores where there is more to see than on the sandy bottom.

One of the best places for snorkelling in Cyprus is the north coast of the Akamas Peninsula where rocky coves and tiny islands not too far offshore abound in a variety of sea life, including larger fish such as grouper.
