Airport Reef
Airport Reef lies in a bay next to Paphos International Airport: a series of high reefs stretching about 200 m, with chimneys, gullies, swim-throughs and two large pinnacles that form a labyrinth, at 3–16 m on a mostly flat sandy bottom. It is easy to enter from the shore, so Visit Cyprus recommends it to beginners; octopus, squid, shrimp and sometimes crab and turtles live here. Cydive also visits it by boat, about 25 minutes from Paphos harbour.
