Excellent Open Water Scuba Course
My son and I signed up for the Open Water Scuba Course. From start to finish, Latchi Watersports knows how to put on an efficient and safe course. JD was our course instructor and he was fantastic, patient and safety-first oriented. He was also entertaining and a lot of fun. Joining him in helping us was Marcus, Andy, Harvey and Matt. They were great as well.
We felt very safe the entire time as they always had plenty of eyes on us to make sure we did everything correctly. The diving itself was a great experience and I highly recommend this team of experts.

Got our PADI! Thanks Latchi Watersport!
After doing the discover scuba dive in october 2021 we had such a good experience that we took our friends to latchi dive centre to get our open water PADI. Again we had the best experience. The staff is amazing (you gotta love JD). They are really helpful, especially with me having a mild handicap, they really did something extra to give me the best dives possible. Thank you so much for everything! Will reccommend to anyone considering becoming a scuba diver.

Another great time scuba diving
Highly professional and great fun diving with Anna Warburton, Dave, Johnny A and all the team at LWS. Diving with professionals who love what they do adds to the pleasure of diving in Cyprus. I’ve completed many courses plus loads of great diving. Can’t wait to go back to do more. I can’t recommend this outfit high enough.
