Mazaki Island
Mazaki is one of several islets around the Akamas peninsula, about 200 m offshore at the tip of the cape where the sea crashes in. Visit Cyprus says it can be dived around but is exposed to harsher weather and stronger currents than other sites in the area, so it suits experienced and adventurous divers (Advanced Open Water, maximum 22 m), who are rewarded with an abundance of marine life.
