Scuba diving at Green Bay statues: Learn underwater breathing

Breathe underwater and explore a statue garden in three hours

Scuba diving in Ayia Napa at Green Bay statues combines instruction in equipment and breathing technique with a guided dive at a beginner-friendly site. The dive includes private transportation, full equipment, and a live English guide. A medical questionnaire screens for conditions that would make diving unsafe.

The experience

The statue garden at Green Bay sits in shallow water with excellent visibility and an easy entry point: conditions that make it ideal for your first dive. You'll start with the basics: how the equipment works, the theory of breathing underwater, and the safety protocols that keep the dive controlled. A live guide leads you through it all in English, and the site's varied marine life (turtles show up sometimes) gives you something to look for once you're in the water.

Private transportation picks you up and brings you to the dive site, so you don't arrange the logistics yourself. Full equipment is included: tanks, wetsuit, weights, the whole setup. The whole experience runs about three hours, which is enough time to get comfortable with the gear and actually spend time underwater rather than rushing through a checkout dive.

What’s included

• Private transportation to Green Bay.
• full scuba equipment including tank, wetsuit, weights, mask and fins.
• instruction in equipment use and underwater breathing technique.
• a live English-speaking guide for the entire dive.
