Dive Spot Guide•
Pistol Bay
Pistol Bay is a shore dive with caves, swim-throughs, and walls.
Easy shore access near Coral Bay, but the rope-assisted entry and overhead sections reward calm water and careful buoyancy.
About Pistol Bay
Pistol Bay is a shore-based Paphos dive built around a rope-assisted rock entry, compact wall sections, sand patches, and a network of swim-throughs and caverns. The route stays varied without feeling sprawling: you can work the rocky perimeter, settle into the bubble cave, and spend time in sheltered pockets when the sea is calm. It suits divers who want an easy-to-reach site with enough structure to keep the dive interesting, especially when they prefer deliberate buoyancy and a controlled pace.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the wall from shallow water down to around 10 m and explore rocky swim-throughs.

Possible only as a conservative shallow swim in settled water; the cave-like sections are better left to scuba.
