Scuba Cyprus Boat Tours: Your Guide to an Unforgettable Day at Sea

If you’re planning a trip to Girne in North Cyprus, Scuba Cyprus is one of the go-to operators for diving and boat tours. Whether you’re a certified diver, a complete beginner, or just looking to spend a day cruising the Mediterranean, they have options to suit.

Who They Are

• Scuba Cyprus is the oldest and largest professional dive school & centre in Northern Cyprus, established in 1990.

• They operate out of two main bases: Camelot Beach (Alsancak) and Kyrenia Harbour (Old Harbour),

• They offer full SSI courses, try-dives, dive trips for certified divers, specialty & professional level training. Non-divers aren’t left out: there are private boat trips, snorkel trips, and more.

What They Offer

• Boat Tours / Private Charters

  You can book their traditional wooden gullet in Kyrenia Harbour for private boat trips (non-divers welcome). These trips typically include cruising along the coast, swimming/snorkelling stops, lunch or dinner aboard, relaxing views.

• Diving & Try-Dives

  For those interested in getting under the surface: try dives, daily dives, wreck dives and the chance to explore a marine world of groupers, amberjacks, octopuses, morays, turtles etc. Visibility is good, often around 30 metres in many spots.

• Courses

  If you want to learn properly, they offer SSI (Scuba Schools International) courses from beginner level up to professional instructor level.

• Other Activities

  Non-diving extras like guided Jeep Safaris, tandem paragliding, etc. This means even if you don’t dive, there’s still plenty to do.

What You Can Expect on a Boat Trip

• Up to 3 stops for swimming or snorkelling in beautiful bays / coves.

• Lunch (often a buffet or “meze” style), drinks.

• Sometimes water sports options (jet skis, parasailing etc.) depending on weather & location.

• Perfect for all levels: families, groups, individuals.

• If you dive, you’ll get guided dives; if not, there are just boat & swim-snorkel options.

Pros & Things to Consider

What’s great:

• Wide choice of diving & non-diving experiences.

• Long experience (since 1990) so likely well run.

• Traditional boats, wooden gulet for charm + RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) as well for more adventurous or faster trips.

Things to check:

• Weather: sea conditions will affect what stops they can make, what water sports are available.

• Booking ahead: especially in high season.

• What’s included (food/drinks, snorkel gear, safety gear etc) so you know what extras you might need.

• Time of trip: many are half-day or full-day, so check pick up or meeting points.

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.
