I did my Open Water and Open Water Advanced courses with Crest Dive back in 2012. The experience was professional and fantastic and it got me hooked on being underwater! Since then I have dived with many, many dive centres in 9 different countries and I can honestly say that these guys are still the best. I was back in the water with Marco and Aaron in August 2020 and everything was just as great as I remembered it. The equipment is top quality, never old and always well looked after, the instructors are relaxed and friendly but at the same time you know that they take everyone's safety very seriously. They always work hard to make sure that everyone has a great dive, regardless of their level of diving experience. They visit a good variety of dive sites, by boat and also shore dives, and there is always something awesome to see. I could not recommend Crest more highly for any divers out there visiting Cyprus or anyone looking to get into this fantastic sport.

Amazing friendly service and everyone speaks perfect English. So many friends and family have completed their diving certificates from here, but personally I’m a customer of their snorkeling gear which is great. Top quality and very happy with it. Not the usual rubbish you find that breaks after two minutes. Also is great for a present. Highly recommend you go check it out, their shop is at the center and it’s at the entente of St Raphael Marina and next to Seashells’s Vegan restaurant.

I’ve always dreamed of going scuba diving and becoming certified in it. While planing a vacation to Limassol I’ve made a research and decided that Crest Diving Centre is exactly the right place to start my diving story, and I definitely was not mistaken.
I took my PADI Open water diver course, and Marco himself was my course instructor.
The whole atmosphere in the centre felt like home. You are always welcome with all the types of queries and questions you get during your theoretical studies and practice sessions. The diving classes were fascinating and every time I was overexcited and could not help but wait for a new dive. Incredibly beautiful diving spots chosen by my dive instructor and the sense of security made the whole experience unforgettable and fascinating. I am looking forward to coming back to Crest Diving Centre for a PADI Advanced open water diver course!

Chose Crest due to proximity to our hotel and the previous reviews given on trip advisor. We are two qualified divers with many years diving experience who were looking specifically to dive the Zenobia wreck whilst on holiday in Cyprus. Marco was a great host/instructor. Easy to get along with, felt safe and confident with his instruction. He provided very prompt pickups and drop offs to and from our hotel. We were back early afternoon each day after our two dives having a decent surface interval between dives. We hired most of the dive gear from Crest other than masks, fins, torch and computers which was all good quality and perfectly adequate and reasonably priced. We had shorties and water temp was around 26 degrees. We had a three day package and for our first day travelled over to Cape Greco to do our check dive and did two shore dives. Lovely coastline saw green and loggerhead turtles and did a lovely cave swimthrough. Second and third days we dived The Zenobia from a hard boat out of Larnaka- four different dives over two days taking in lots of the wreck. Hard boat was fine, a short trip out from the harbour to the dive site with hot drinks and biscuits provided. The Zenobia didn't disappoint and we can see why she is classed as one of the top 10 wrecks to dive in the World. Had three great days of relaxed diving with a genuinely good instructor. Would certainly recommend Marco and if in Cyprus we will look him up again. Thanks Marco.

I have taken several advanced PADI courses with Crest Dive and it is an amazing experience. I find the whole team are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Their knowledge of where to dive in Cyprus is great, you'll get to dive the best sites.
Their tuition and equipment is absolutely first class.
I would highly recommend anyone looking to dive whilst in Limassol to try Crest Dive.

We had a great time as a family with our youngest learning to dive for the first time and he absolutely loved it, our eldest continuing his diving experience with wreck dives as well as the underwater statues and additionally both my eldest son and I took the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course.
Kathryn was a great tutor making the Powerboat course informative and fun, Hayden who took us all out on our first dive and carried on teaching our youngest, made the diving experience very enjoyable for all three of us and he was particularly good with easing first dive nerves. Marco, who oversees and runs the show, took us for our wreck dives and last two dives, he has the Papa Smurf approach of coming across as firm but quickly falls away to having as much fun as the people diving - a great guy.
All in all a great experience and we would highly recommend, with such a great team.

Credt diving center is located by St Raphael Marina, very convenient from our hotel located on Amathus Beach. We wanted very much to explore the Zenobia shipwreck, yet we were lacking the deep dive certification. So I contacted the dive center in advance and Marco, the owner, provided us with digital materials from SSI, so that when we’ve reached Cyprus, we had already passed the theoretical test. The practical part was completed in several dives at Zenobia, so we were very lucky to finalize the certification and explore the shipwreck in the same time. Crest has professional guides, so it was a pleasure diving with them!

1) How much does it cost?
2) How long is it?
3) Do you need to know how to dive?
