Cynthiana
Cynthiana is a shore dive named after the hotel above it. It has two entries: a ladder in a small bay, and a shallow pool with a gap in the rocks leading out to sea. Underwater there are two large pinnacles, overhangs and a swim-through between 3 and 12 m, plus seagrass and sand where turtles and rays are sometimes seen. Cydive uses it for training and beginners, about 15 minutes by road from its Paphos centre; Crest Dive gives a maximum of 10 m.
