Overview
Amathounta is one of the ancient city-kingdoms of Cyprus where, according to mythology, Greek hero Theseus left the pregnant Ariadne to be attended by local women. It was also an important site of worship of the Goddess Aphrodite-Astarte.
Amathounta Harbor was constructed during the Hellenistic period by Demetrios Poliorketes and consisted of two parts; the outer and the inner port.
By the 3rd century BC, the harbor was used only by fishermen, and by the 1st century AD, it was completely dry. Today it lies below sea level, but is easy to distinguish.

What to expect
We do easy shore diving which is a perfect introduction to the underwater world. The program is called Discover Scuba Diving, the instructor gives a safety briefing and answers any questions you may have. We go into shallow water first to practice some skills and get comfortable in the equipment and the water - then you go diving!
A NAUI instructor is with you the whole time looking after you and will show you some of the marine life we have here in Limassol. Max depth 5 meters.
