8Dinosaur Bay
After entering the bay, swim out over rocks that are shaped like dinosaur bones. After leaving these turn right and there are lots of small caves and sink holes. Take a bearing on the way out, as finding the exit point is not easy as the terrain is fairly flat and featureless. take the turning opposite Spilies bar, down to the coast. A short walk gets you into the small semi-circular bay.

10Achilleas
The wreck is of a trawler that was blown up in the 70´s as part of an insurance claim. The wreck is fairly neatly spread with the bulk of the wreck being intact. The visibility is fantastic and because of the shallow depth, very light. Easily reached by boat from Paphos harbour

Visibility may change depending on whether and direction: While parts of the site may have not that good visibility (less than 10m), others can have much better (15m and more) at the same time. The site is accessible directly from the beach of Cynthiana Beach Hotel at Coral Bay, either via a ladder or via the beach itself.
