Best diving experience ever An absolutely unforgettable diving experience! The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and made me feel safe from the moment I arrived. The highlight was the Zenobia wreck — breathtaking views, amazing visibility, and fascinating marine life. It felt like exploring another world! Everything was perfectly organized, from the equipment to the dive briefing, and the instructors’ passion for diving really showed. This was easily one of the best dives I’ve ever done, and I can’t thank the team enough. If you’re in Cyprus, diving with this center is an absolute must!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The best dive school in Cyprus! Diving with Nautilus was a breeze! From the very beginning, Ben and Samantha took such great care of us. Me and my family haven't dived in over a year, so we asked for a refresher, which was extremely well planned and thorough. We did some excercises underwater and explored the area as well, after which we headed to Musan, where we did our main dive. It was really wonderful! From the very first second we felt welcomed, appreciated, and also really safe. I really appreciated how no step was missed and the dives were properly planned and executed, ensuring 100% safety. We even received a video of us underwater, and dare I say, it was really worth it. I took my own camera as well, but the professional video was just so much better haha. In short, diving with Nautilus was just perfect, from the chosen dive sites, through the equipment to the wonderful people there! I highly recommend it!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Look no further - this is the best! We are a family of 4. The 3 of us are Open Water Certified and our youngest is Advanced Certified, so on day 1 we had a “Family Day” with Ben ;-) where we went to Green Bay for the first dive and to Cape Greco for the “Tunnels & Caves” as the second dive. Both great dives that we all enjoyed. We saw lots of smaller fish and a couple of seahorses! On day 2, our youngest had the pleasure of diving with Ben on the wreck of Zenobia out of the coast of Cyprus. She came back thrilled with joy after 2 amazing dives and an incredible experience!Ben made sure that we all felt safe and comfortable throughout both days. All in all, we can only recommend Ben & Co - all extremely nice people, down to earth, welcoming and friendly. We had been looking for a place like this, and we are so glad we found it! There is no need to look anywhere else.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Dives at Green Bay and Musan I thoroughly enjoyed my two dives with Nautilus. I am in my mid fifties and hadn’t dived for thirty years. Sam went through the essential refresher skills clearly and explained everything thoroughly before we made the dives. I felt well looked after by Sam and Rich throughout and they are great company. The first day was at Green Bay and the second at Musan. I particularly enjoyed the experience at Musan as it was an amazing experience to see the underwater sculptures and I saw plenty of fish and squid. I really appreciated being emailed two videos of the dives afterwards as it is such a wonderful memento.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great advanced open water teaching center I did my advanced open water course with Ben at Nautilus.Ben is a great teacher. He has loads of experience and focuses on practical dive knowledge, which is they way it should be. I highly recommend him and his dive center for both the easier dives in and around Protaras and the awesome boat dive to the Zenobia wreck.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Scuba adventure achieved I've never scuba dived before, but like many, it was only my bucket list.Nautilus diving was great. Friendly instructors made sure I was comfortable and confident with all the skills I needed to do the dive in a beautiful location. My instructor Sam was patient and reassuring, and I felt in very safe hands. Rich made in a fun and memorable experience and took some awesome video. My friend went on to do the Musan dive, which she also really enjoyed. I would highly recommend this very professional and friendly company for beginners and more experienced divers.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An amazing first time experience! Our first time diving and it was amazing! Ben was very professional and patient with us, he truly knows his stuff. He talked through each of skills with us and allowed us more time to become fully comfortable with the kit. We saw loads of fish and statues. Video that he took while we were down was great. Had an amazing time, and highly recommended to all. Thank you again Ben! :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Unforgettable Scuba Diving Experience – Thank You, Nicole!** We had an absolutely amazing experience with scuba diving, and we cannot thank Nicole enough for making it so special and unforgettable! At the beginning, we were both quite nervous and scared, especially because neither of us can swim. We were unsure what to expect and whether we would be able to manage diving underwater. However, Nicole completely changed our experience with her incredible patience, kindness, professionalism, and reassuring personality. Before we entered the water, she took plenty of time to explain everything to us in detail. She guided us through the equipment, explained how to breathe properly underwater, and carefully practised all the necessary exercises with us. She never rushed us or made us feel uncomfortable. Instead, she made sure we understood everything and felt as safe and confident as possible before moving on. What impressed us most was her ability to understand our fears and help us overcome them step by step. Through her clear explanations, practical exercises, encouragement, and calm manner, she gradually helped us build our confidence. What initially seemed frightening became an exciting and beautiful adventure. Once we were underwater, moving around independently was challenging for us as non-swimmers. However, Nicole stayed with us throughout the entire experience, supported us continuously, and helped us whenever we needed assistance. We always felt that she was paying attention to us and genuinely cared about our safety and comfort. Her patience and support made a huge difference, allowing us to enjoy an experience we might otherwise never have dared to try. We were also very impressed by the quality of the diving equipment. Everything was in excellent condition, well prepared, and perfectly organised. The entire experience felt professional, safe, and well planned from beginning to end. Another wonderful thing about Nicole is her ability to communicate in different languages. As far as we know, she speaks Polish, German, and English, which makes her especially helpful for international visitors. Being able to understand her explanations clearly made us feel even more comfortable. Nicole is not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely kind, empathetic, patient, and passionate about what she does. She does not simply teach people how to dive; she takes the time to understand them, builds their confidence, and helps them create memories they will never forget. **Thanks to Nicole, what began with fear turned into one of the most special experiences of our holiday in Cyprus.** We are truly grateful for all her effort, care, and encouragement. We wholeheartedly recommend this diving centre, especially to beginners who may feel nervous about trying scuba diving for the first time. Nicole made our experience exceptional, and we could not have wished for a better instructor. Thank you so much, Nicole, for your kindness, patience, and for helping us overcome our fears and discover the wonderful underwater world! You are amazing, and you deserve all five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️Posted on Google![]()

Never scubadived before. Never felt.comfortable diving even.though being frequent swimmer doing 2km every few days except during ski season. But very uncomfortable under the surface or high above the.ground. Safty first 🙂 kind of a guy. Then accidentally start chatting with Nicole in front.of their office and and got intrigged to go and see how it works.for me. All kudos to Nocole. She followed my pace my fobias with utter patience and was perfectly clear with her intructuons. So it turned into pleasure and intrigued me to move on with it. Will take more steps I guess to overcome my strong urge.of control and safty but feel I will get to love it. Similar I started my skiing journey now yo cannot get ne off skies and similar with swimming you can get me.out of water ... .So thanks Nicole. Thanks a lot. Would not have tried it probably ever if not for you and your guide.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot recommend Nautilus Scuba Diving Centre Cyprus highly enough. I contacted Ben, the owner, after being recommended to Nautilus, as I wanted to complete my PADI Advanced Open Water course. From my very first conversation with Ben, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to explain every aspect of the course, was incredibly patient and informative, and was very accommodating when arranging dates. He also offered a very competitive price. Ben sent me all the information I needed via WhatsApp and made the whole process of getting set up on the PADI eLearning App incredibly straightforward. My instructor was Nicole, and I genuinely could not have asked for a better instructor. On my first morning, Nicole picked me up and took me to the dive centre, where she personally made sure I was properly fitted with all my equipment. The equipment was in excellent condition, and Nicole took her time to ensure everything fitted correctly and comfortably. Before we even started diving, Nicole had a detailed conversation with me about the course and, importantly, gave me the opportunity to explain the areas where I felt I needed further training and development. She listened carefully and tailored the training around my individual needs. Nicole is an absolute breath of fresh air — bubbly, always smiling, chatty and clearly very well liked by the other diving staff. More importantly, she is incredibly patient, calm, knowledgeable and informative. She has a fantastic way of teaching without ever making you feel overwhelmed or as though she is trying to show off her knowledge. Throughout the course, Nicole helped me improve in so many areas, particularly my buoyancy, breathing, navigation and overall confidence in the water. She identified my weaknesses and worked patiently with me to improve them. Her instruction was always constructive, and she had a brilliant balance between giving praise and offering helpful criticism when it was needed. The second and final day included dives on the Zenobia shipwreck, which was absolutely incredible. Seeing the Zenobia was an unforgettable experience, and watching Nicole in the water really showed just how experienced and capable she is — she makes everything look effortless. What I particularly appreciated about Nicole was the way she gave feedback. She was never critical for the sake of being critical. Instead, she has a wonderful way of explaining what you can improve, encouraging you to do better, and then recognising you when you get it right. I successfully completed the course and received my certification, but for me, the certificate was only part of what I gained from the experience. Nicole genuinely taught me so much, helped me improve as a diver, built my confidence and, most importantly, made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable. A huge thank you to Ben, Nicole and the whole team at Nautilus Scuba Diving Centre Cyprus. From the initial enquiry right through to completing the course, everything was handled professionally and personally. If you are considering learning to dive, improving your skills, or completing your PADI Advanced Open Water certification, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nautilus. Fantastic centre, fantastic instructor, fantastic experience. 5 stars without hesitation!Posted on Google![]()

Second dive for me, first was Croatia where I had a leaking regulator so was breathing water. So I was incredibly nervous this time. Needn’t have been. Ben’s awesome - patient and understanding, very clear to follow and explains the “why”. I had an amazing time, and the video after is very cool also. —- I had a second dive with Nautilus a year later. Nicole took us out this time, and I did the DSD plus the Musan dive too this year. Nicole was equally exceptional. The diving was just amazing and I simply cannot recommend these guys enough. THANK YOU!Posted on Google![]()

Nautilus Scuba Diving Centre in Protaras are superb. With little or no experience the guys talk you through the entire process and all the safety requirements. Full instruction is given and all the diving equipment explained. Once we arrived at the first dive site the fun begins, putting the fins on in the water was hilarious… our instructor Nicole, spent all the time necessary to make sure everyone was comfortable. After the first dive we headed to Musan in Ayia Napa. The dive site there is around 10 metres in depth, loads of sculptures and plenty of photo opportunities, all taken by the instructor. Very highly recommended, contact Nautilus Suba Diving Centre for all you’re diving needsPosted on Google![]()
