What people usually pay
No official universal Cyprus marine-park dive tag, countrywide scuba-access ticket or fixed national tourist levy was verified for ordinary Republic-controlled day diving. Public MPA restrictions still apply without an admission fee. Costs depend on dive operator, boats and rental gear. The specific night-scuba prior approval is a legal requirement, not an optional tour extra. Amounts below are published examples, not statutory national prices.
