Zephyros is a boat-access reef and wall dive in northern Cyprus with rocky relief, caves, and a short buoy-line descent from the boat. The site rewards divers who want a guided run over ledges and swim-through-style structure, with marine life ranging from groupers and octopus to rays and other reef fish when conditions stay settled. Current can swing enough that operator timing matters.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Comfortable buoyancy control helps on the wall, caves, and reef edge. Advanced Open Water comfort is a sensible minimum planning baseline.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive target because the interesting structure sits on a deeper boat-access reef.
Snorkeling
Not a strong snorkel target; the main features are deeper and boat-access.
