First diving trip. Decided to learn SCUBA in Cyprus as we knew the country. Did not know the difference where to dive. Mideterranian was impressive for us then, and we still have good memories about the first dives, and our instructor, Herbie Bholme

Access to northern parts of Cyprus. - The above is half true. You can access the occupied part of Cyprus, but it is illegal entering from Turkey. You can enter from checkpoints after entering legally fron Lanraca or Pafos international airports. If you enter from the illegal airport that is located in the occupied part of Cyprus and then try to visit the free part of Cyprus, you will be arrested. Unfortunatly the invasion of Turkey in Cyprus caused such problems and we hope one day all this will be solved.
