3 hours from Protaras on a glass-bottom boat: Blue Lagoon swims, Turtle Cove, sea caves, and slides, with a chance to spot turtles.

“the staff were so incredibly friendly, the boat was impeccably clean as the staff were constantly cleaning up, the commentator was hilarious and my daughter was a bit nervous to start with to go in the water to start with but with the help of one of the staff members she soon was in with a life jacket and by the end she was freely swimming around! we only got to see 1 tiny sea turtle but that's no ones fault and can't be guaranteed anyway so it wouldn't put us off doing it again as the last 15 minutes back were great fun.”

“I had a great time with sirens diving, the guide/instructor (Shawn) that went out with me was a very good teacher and left me with no questions when it came time to go out. Once we had set off into the water the tour lasted 45 minutes. The guide took plenty of pictures and videos and they were all sent to my WhatsApp the day after the dive. The pictures were great and were included in the price. Overall I had a great time and all the people were extremely helpful and made my first ever scuba experience a 5/5. Sam”
