Discover more about Chapel Dive Site

Chapel Dive Site, located near the picturesque Agioi Anargyroi chapel in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, is a renowned underwater haven that attracts divers and snorkelers from around the globe. This site is celebrated for its exceptional clarity, diverse marine life, and intriguing underwater topography, making it an ideal destination for both beginners and seasoned underwater explorers. The dive site's name is derived from the charming chapel of Agioi Anargyroi, which stands majestically on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. This chapel, dedicated to Saints Kosmas and Damianos, not only adds a touch of cultural significance to the area but also serves as a convenient landmark for locating the dive site. As divers descend into the crystal-clear waters, they are immediately greeted by a vibrant underwater ecosystem. The visibility here is often outstanding, sometimes reaching up to 40 meters, providing an unobstructed view of the marine life and geological formations below. The seabed is a mix of rocky substrates and Posidonia oceanica meadows, creating a diverse habitat for a wide array of marine species. One of the main attractions of Chapel Dive Site is its rich marine biodiversity. Divers can encounter schools of colorful fish, including saddle bream, ornate wrasse, blue-spotted cornetfish, and damselfish, darting among the rocks and corals. Larger marine creatures, such as groupers, octopi, and the occasional sea turtle or dolphin, also frequent the area, adding to the excitement of the dive. The underwater landscape is equally captivating, featuring intriguing rock formations, small caves, and swim-throughs that provide shelter and breeding grounds for marine life. Divers can explore these formations, discovering hidden nooks and crannies teeming with life. The site's maximum depth reaches over 40 meters, catering to divers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced technical divers. For those who prefer snorkeling, the shallow areas near the shore offer an equally rewarding experience. Snorkelers can observe many of the same marine species found at greater depths, as well as enjoy the stunning clarity of the water and the beauty of the coastline. The Chapel Dive Site is easily accessible from the shore, making it a popular choice for independent divers and dive operators alike. A set of steps leads down from the chapel to a rocky entry point, where divers can carefully enter the water. However, it's important to exercise caution when entering and exiting the water, as the rocks can be slippery. The dive site is particularly popular during the summer months when the water temperature is warm and the visibility is at its peak. However, it can also be enjoyed year-round, as Cyprus boasts a mild Mediterranean climate with water temperatures rarely dropping below 16°C. In addition to its natural beauty, Chapel Dive Site also has some historical significance. Divers can spot fragments of ancient pottery scattered across the seabed, remnants of the island's rich cultural heritage. These artifacts serve as a reminder of the many civilizations that have left their mark on Cyprus over the centuries. Whether you're an experienced diver seeking an adventurous underwater exploration or a novice snorkeler looking to discover the wonders of the marine world, Chapel Dive Site offers an unforgettable experience. With its crystal-clear waters, diverse marine life, and intriguing underwater landscape, this site is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in scuba diving or snorkeling in Cyprus. To make the most of your visit, consider joining a guided dive tour with a local dive operator. These tours provide valuable insights into the site's history, marine life, and geological features, as well as ensure a safe and enjoyable diving experience. Remember to bring your underwater camera to capture the stunning scenery and marine life, and be sure to check the local weather conditions before diving to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Chapel Dive Site is more than just a dive site; it's an underwater sanctuary where nature and history converge to create a truly magical experience. It's a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the underwater world. Whether you're exploring the depths or simply floating on the surface, Chapel Dive Site is sure to leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
