About Kaliva
Kaliva is an easy shore dive in Protaras with a giant-stride entry, a gentle start, and a fish-rich loop that suits newer divers. The trenches and rocks hold regular bream, damselfish, ornate wrasse, cornetfish, and frequent lionfish, making it a relaxed Mediterranean dive with enough texture to stay interesting. It is one of the easiest ways to explore the area without leaving the shore.
