About Manijin island
Manijin Island is a rocky outcrop off Paphos with a wall, cave passages, and a bowl-shaped finish. The route runs across sand and rock patches, then through overhangs and swim-throughs before the final blowhole exit. It is a relaxed recreational dive in settled water, but the overhead sections reward tidy buoyancy and conservative timing. Wrasse, moray eels, octopus, shrimp, and occasional turtles are the usual wildlife highlights.

Local Intel For Manijin island
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Plan a multilevel boat dive that follows the wall, then uses the cave and swim-throughs before the bowl and blowhole finish.
Snorkel
Snorkelling is realistic around the calmer top of the outcrop, but the cave, bowl, and swim-throughs are a scuba-first route.
