🌸Verdict
If you’re in Northern Cyprus and looking for a mix of diving, beautiful scenery, relaxed cruising, and a touch of adventure, Scuba Cyprus seems like a very solid choice. Their mix of professional diving services plus more chilled boat tours means there’s something for everyone. I’d recommend going on a private boat tour with them, especially off-peak, so you get more flexibility and fewer crowds.
