Pyla Pirate Cave (dive route)

3D Model

The stunning underwater caves and caverns of this site are as beautiful as they are unique. As the only place on the island where you can dive in a cave and surface inside a mountain, the experience is further enriched by stalactites and a dazzling range of different blue hues throughout.

All three caves at the site can be entered with a single dive. And although the marine life here is not as prolific as at the reefs of Larnaka, it is certainly special; the caves are one of the few places on the island where you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the shy Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus).

An array of different coloured crabs also dwell here, as well assmall spotted cleaning shrimp. In the upper cave – where divers resurface – bats hang from the ceiling, amidst the minimal light that streams in through the crevices.
