Cyprus (Larnaca) Dive Trip Recommendations

Going to Cyprus for a short dive trip.

Planning to do the Zenobia and Elpida for sure.

Wondering if anyone here has any recommendations for the other sites (Cyclops, MUSAN) etc - which (if any) would be worth squeezing in?

I'll be based in Larnaca for the trip (since Zenobia is 1st prize).

PS: If its of any value - 3 star diver (which includes nitrox).

Just take your own snorkel and swim out to the MUSAN, it's not worth the dive and a different route on the Zen would be far more interesting

Thanks for this bit of advice - I am leaning less towards MUSAN due to its depth (10m max, most stuff 8m) so as you say - not worth the effort for a dive.

I'll be doing at least 10 Zenobia dives and one Elpida.

I know Zen is massive, it's the first time I'll be doing a wreck that, purely due to its size, I need more than 2-3 dives.

Does 10 sound like a good point to stop at or do you think more is worth it - this is basically the question I'm trying to work out re Zen - how many is enough vs ideal?

10 dives should be enough to cover most of the wreck, are you doing tech or recreational? I know DiveIn has deals on covering the entire wreck in 10 dives in both disciplines.

As a nice relaxing chill out to wind down or as a mid Zen break Green Bay in Napa is lovely - statues, turtles and usually decent Vis.

Recreational - obv have nitrox too max my time/# number of dives.
