Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not only did Cengiz and his team make me feel welcome, they invited me in to the scuba diving family at Alagadi. The professional approach, clear briefings and focus on everyone's safety was an important factor in my both recommending and using these guys again. They have really given me the diving bug and I look forward to going out with them again soon!

When I visit Scuba Centres around the world, they usually fall into one of two categories, the ones that are run purely for profit and the ones that are run for the love of it.
This centre feels like it falls exclusively on the side of the love of diving.
The owner, Cengiz is one of the friendliest and most professional dive centre owners I've even met and this attitude has helped create a wonderful atmosphere when diving with North Cyprus British Scuba Centre. It is reflected in all the people around that work with him for the love of Diving and this is what you notice when you dive with them.
On the two days we spent diving, we were taken via boat to a nice hidden gem of a location that had lots of relics from a sunken roman boat it seems. Amir, a friend of the centre took it upon himself as a sort of personal guide for the day and helped make the day extra special with his infectious enthusiasm . Thanks Amir!
The second day was a double dive around the Wreck of the Zenobia, Andy, another friend of the centre and dive master, was our guide. He was a very experienced diver and was full of great knowledge about the island as we drove over the border to the south side for the day.
While on the south, we boarded a communal dive boat had two dives around the wreck (which was amazing) and then had some very nice lunch before we popped to a Costa Coffee and then headed back.
Overall, this was probably the highlight of our holiday and would 100% go back there if we ever revisit North Cyprus!
Thanks for the memories guys!!

Cengiz and his team (especially Andy and Ioan) were fantastic!
Communication with Cengiz from the UK to to N Cyprus to set up our PADI open water diver courses for the whole family was brilliant.
Right from the start they made it an enjoyable, fun and safe experience for the whole family (including our 4 "children" aged from 10 - 23 years). Cengiz was especially brilliant with my 10 year old daughter, never made her feel rushed and I think has made a life long SCUBA fan! I honestly can't recommend them enough!

I have always wanted to scuba dive but never felt brave enough, I have a 10 and 8 year old, when I saw the 'bubble experience' I decided to go for it! The day was absolutely perfect, the team were amazing making us feel very safe and secure. My two kids were breathing underwater with all the gear within minutes, after the extremely detailed safety briefing. I would highly recommend this company, especially for nervous beginners, and for families. The team were also very kind sharing coffee and lunch with us afterwards, thank you so much...we will return!

I would thoroughly recommend Cengiz and the team. We booked the PADI open water diver and completed the coursework online and the dives in Cyprus. The instructors were very patient and took us through the course at our pace ensuring safety was foremost at every step of the way. The dive sites were amazing and the team exceptional. Don’t just think about it do it!

Cengiz is a very experienced instructor who has placed the highest value on safety. That was very important to me and made me feel great from the beginning. He took a lot of time to explain everything, especially the safety techniques, to practice them directly in the dives.

I turned up to this company a very nervous client. Cengis and his team made me feel at ease on my discover scuba.
So much so I decided to have a go at the open water course a week later.
Very proudly I passed the course!!!
Cant thank the team enough for helping me get through my course but more importantly I had a great time
Highly recommended!

Last year I have done my IDC instructor training with Cengiz. For me Cengiz was a great teacher, with so much experience, that I felt very well prepared for the IE, the instructor exam. It was hard work, but also a lot of fun with great support from all staff at North Cyprus British Scuba Center. Thank you all and especially thank you Cengiz!

I recently finished the open water PADI course and really enjoyed it thanks to everyone at the centre. In particular Jewells and Cengiz who both instructed me, they made sure we were always safe and doing things correctly while having a lot of fun too. We were also given the opportunity after we qualified to go on a boat dive to a local site which was one of the highlights of my holiday. Thanks again guys and definitely see you next year!!

Hello , my name is Frank Milner and I am staying at the Hotel Pia Bella Kyrenia from 20th to 26th December . I would like to dive for at least one day whilst I am in the area or may be just do snorkelling. Can you recommend some good beaches to do snorkelling. Is it possible to visit the Fred site just outside Kyrenia. I you would like to telephone me when I am at the hotel that would be appreciated. Frank Milner

Frank,
Best thing to do is contact Cengiz and he will be able to help you. I could recommend Turtle Beach as friendly snorkelling area.

Hi Denise,
Thanks for your email and your inquiry,
I got a boat dive going on tomorrow morning at 10 am.
If you want you can join us.
The dive site I am planing to go is called power station, one of the best in the north. Also, I will have another boat dive on Thursday and Saturday morning, but as weather on Thursday looks not very good I may cancel this dive.
On Wednesday at 10 am I can take your husband for Discover scuba Diving (Exploratory Dive).
Just confirm this then I can tell you when and where you will meet me.
Boat dive price 120 TL and Discover Scuba diving price is 210 TL.
Regards,
Cengiz Bergun
PADI Course Director,
