The dive

Easy Divers leads you through two swim-throughs and down a large hole to Horse Shoe Cave, then out through the 'Blow Hole'. On the way you pass a rock shaped like Cyprus.

You enter the water with a 1.5 or 3 m jump from the rocks. The exit through the hole at the top of the cave is 'for the more daring' per Cyprus Tourism: do it only with a guide who knows it.

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (Oct 2026): the Cyprus Tourism dive-site PDF (July 2020, with GPS per site) and the diving pages of visitcyprus.com, the websites of Easy Divers, AquaNaut Diving School and GoToDive, Cyprus Mail (2022) on the chamber and Politis (May 2026) on the Cape Greco sea caves. These are sea caves, caverns and swim-throughs with daylight, mostly from the shore; Pyla Pirate Caves is a boat dive with an air chamber. Certification and configurations are estimates.
