Excellent rating
Based on 106 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my 17 year old daughter tried Scuba Diving for the first time ever. We were excited but also a bit sceptical. Soon as we arrived we felt at ease. Just the way everything was explained to us and how we were shown everything was so easy to take in. Straight away you forget about nerves and just get excited and want to start. Once we arrived at the destination it became so good, we were taken through everything and found it easy to follow. Once in the water, the dive was so good, actually it was amazing. We felt so comfortable in the water. Its one of those experiences you want to just keep going and not end. Everything was amazing from start to finish, thanks to Burcu and Chris for an Amazing experience. We will definately be back and recommend to anyone thinking of scuba diving. 10 out of 10, thankyou for an amazing time. Mark TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great dive center and super professional! Thanks Burcu for having us. We'll come back! Antoine CorbilletTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Dive Cypria was truly outstanding. The instructors not only taught me the essential diving skills, but also helped me gain confidence in myself. As a beginner, I initially felt nervous and outside of my comfort zone, but thanks to their patience, guidance, and encouragement, I gradually became more comfortable with every dive. I wholeheartedly recommend Dive Cypria to anyone interested in exploring the underwater world, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to develop your diving skills further. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and fun, making the entire journey both enjoyable and memorable. A heartfelt thank you to the whole team for their great work. The skills, confidence, and memories I gained will stay with me for a long time. I can't wait to return, see everyone again, and share many more amazing experiences together!

Mitt livs första dyk blev en Fantastisk upplevelse Per-åke EngströmTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Burcu is very thorough and makes you feel really comfortable about putting your safety in her hands. The team there were great. If I ever go back to Cyprus that would be the first place I would go. It's a shame it so far away from my country. Shane QuaidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dive Cypria has been absolutely fantastic! My partner and I completed our Open Water Course with very little scuba diving knowledge or experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction to diving. From the moment we booked, Burcu was in touch with us, keeping us informed about everything from pickups to course details, and she even checked in with us after we had completed the course. She is professional, patient, fun, and incredibly supportive. I found certain parts of the course challenging, but Burcu took the time to work with me one-to-one, helping me build my confidence until I was able to succeed. Her encouragement made all the difference. A huge thank you as well to Simon and Maria for joining us on some of our dives. It was so helpful to familiarise ourselves with diving alongside different people, and they made the experience even more enjoyable with their friendly, reassuring approach. We also absolutely loved the videos and photos taken of us during the course - they're such special memories that we'll treasure and are a wonderful reminder of an unforgettable experience. The entire team at Dive Cypria is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and fun while always remaining professional and putting safety first. My partner and I have already agreed we'll be coming back to complete our next course because we were genuinely blown away by the quality of the tuition and the atmosphere. We've definitely caught the scuba diving bug! Thank you so much, Burcu, Simon, Maria, and the whole Dive Cypria team. We can't wait to see you all again! ???????????? Hayley ColvillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Burcu was an absolutely fantastic instructor throughout our PADI Open Water course. My partner, Hayley, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through our first diving experience. From the very beginning, Burcu was incredibly supportive, patient, and encouraging. She took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure we felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. No question was ever too much trouble, and her calm, reassuring approach really helped build our confidence underwater. What really stood out was how much fun she made the course. Learning with Burcu never felt like a chore – every session was enjoyable, relaxed, and full of laughs, while still maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Thanks to her enthusiasm and passion for diving, we’ve both finished the course feeling excited to continue our diving journey. We can’t recommend Burcu highly enough to anyone looking to complete their PADI certification. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience! Adam HaycoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I learned to dive with Burcu, and I’ll never forget her! Her patience, her sense of humour, and her boundless energy make her an exceptional instructor ! Diving in small groups gave me the chance to learn at my own pace in a really friendly atmosphere, and I always felt supported and safe. I got my PADI Open Water certification, and it’s largely thanks to her. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. ???????? elisa van den bossche
