Brilliant experience
Can’t praise this experience high enough. Instructors, guides and boat captain all really professional and great fun as well as helpful throughout. The dive itself was great and our guides took us through every step with care and time. The relative cost was very reasonable give the expertise of the team involved and will last long and great holiday memory.

Excellent experience and good value.
This was a great experience and well worth the money. Everything for start to finish was thoroughly professional and well planned. We were rained off for our original booking due to torrential rain stoms so were moved to the following morning at the Dive Centre's suggestion. We were fitted out with all our kit, wetsuit, fins, goggles, scuba vest etc that afternoon so when we turned up the next morning it was straight onto the boat and out to the dive spot. Very thorough instruction from Joe, our Instructor, in shallow water and once mastered were off on our dive into deeper water. We were thoroughly supervised the whole time by Joe and had a total dive time of 52 minutes. It was then back on the boat and return to Latchi Dive Centre for a change and showers. A fantastic experience and worth wvry penny.

Magical experience becoming Open Water Padi certified
From start to finish the Latchi Watersports team were incredibly helpful, thorough and made our time extremely fun with no stress. A special mention to our brilliant instructor Marta who made it an experience we will never forget. We are very much looking forward to coming back to do some more fun dives here in the near future.

Excellent and very professional service.
I visited Latchi to arrange a dive with them for both myself and my cousin. I'm a qualified diver and my cousin wanted to do DSD course,( discover scuba diving) . I had various correspondence with Latchi Watersports to ascertain if they could meet my needs due to my disability. I have 2 arthritic hips and find steps very difficult to climb. All of the team I spoke to said that they were positive that could cater for my needs. I met JD and discussed a plan which we agreed on.We scheduled the dive for15/10/25. I managed to complete my dive and my cousin,excuse the pun, took to it like a fish to water. All the team were excellent and very professional. Thea,Holly and JD are the people I had the most dealings with but all the other people involved were equally as excellent and professional. I hope I remembered all the names. So Sam, Matthaeus (?) Miahel (?) and Chris and the rest of the team sincerest thanks. If I've missed anyone else sorry my sentiment extends to them all.We'll both see you tomorrow for our next one.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a lovely review! We are so happy to hear that your entire experience with us was positive. We will pass along your kind comments to the entire team, it was lovely to welcome you both and we enjoyed having you dive with us! We do hope that you come and visit us again, we would love to take you for some more dives! Kind regards, The Latchi Watersports Team

Brilliant experience for first timers.
Our family of 5 adults pvisited Latchi water sport centre for the discover scuba diving experience. We had a great afternoon. It was only us on the trip so we had our own private little trip out to the blue lagoon. The staff were professional and we all felt completely safe at all times. We completed a 50 minute dive at a depth of roughly 6 metres after our skills training around the blue lagoon. Didn’t see any turtles or dolphins but plenty of fish. It’s a busy area so I imagine experienced divers would be diving at much more remote locations with plenty to see. But as a first dive it was a great experience for us as a family. They offer many other activities as well so well worth a visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so glad that you enjoyed your first experience with us underwater! We would love to welcome you all back to compelte the PADI open water course in the future! Kind regrads, The Latchi Watersports Team

Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus cost?
+
Prices start at $114 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paphos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paphos is not rushed.
Is Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paphos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paphos and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beginners Discover Scuba Diving By Boat, Best Spot In Cyprus start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paphos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paphos?
+
On Outty we rank every Paphos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Lagoon Cruise with Sightseeing from Latchi Harbour, Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Wave Dancer Half Day BBQ Cruise - All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paphos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paphos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
