On July 12, every euro paid by participants will go straight to PAWS, with dive instructors volunteering their time for free to make it a full charity day underwater.
If you’ve ever thought about trying scuba diving, or you’re already a certified diver looking for an excuse to get back in the water, this might be the most meaningful dive of the summer.
On Sunday, July 12, Happy Divers Diving Centre is inviting people to take part in “Dive 4 P.A.W.S.," a charity diving day in Cyprus where every single euro collected will be donated directly to PAWS – Protecting Animals Without Shelter.
Even better, the dive instructors will be working completely for free that day, meaning all proceeds from participants will go straight to helping animals in need across the island.
There are two options available: a guided dive for certified divers or an introductory dive for beginners who want to experience scuba diving for the first time. The intro dive costs €60 (down from the usual €75) and includes full equipment and gear.
So if you’ve ever wanted to breathe underwater, float through Cyprus’ sea life, and tick scuba diving off your bucket list, this is your chance to do it while actually helping a good cause.
Organizers say the idea is simple: turn a summer experience into real impact. Instead of just another beach day, participants get to take part in something that directly supports stray and abandoned animals through PAWS.
And let’s be honest, it’s not every day you can say your holiday dive helped feed or shelter an animal in need.
Everything is provided on site, so even total beginners can join safely with professional guidance. All you need to bring is a bit of curiosity, and maybe a willingness to get hooked on diving.
Bookings are already open, and places can be reserved by calling 99543367. More details are also available on the event page: https://facebook.com/events/s/dive-4-paws/1675140870201254/
With summer in full swing, organizers are hoping for a strong turnout, part adventure, part community spirit, and all for a cause that quietly does vital work across Cyprus every day.
So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to try diving… this might be it.
