I thought best to do a bit of digging first to ensure that it wasn't a case of sour grapes from someone, and found this article on the Cyprus Mail

http://www.cyprus-mail.com/fishing-trips/fishing-trips-blasted-hunting-sharks/20120718

Andreas Panayiotou, the director of Napa Sea Cruises that Zenobia Dive is part of was quoted as saying

“Everyone does it, we’re not the only ones… it’s not forbidden if you’ve got your licences,” he said, adding that if they don’t have the right the police should come and stop them.

Not only guilty as charged, but completely unrepetant as well

So, if you find yourself in Cyprus and fancy a bit of diving, make sure you give your trade to a dive cente other than Zenobia Dive.

They 'DO NOT' have the right and if the police will not visit them then we will not either, vote with your feet ...

Thanks Dean (I was begining to think I was chatting to the wrong audience!)

Really disappointing that a dive company is supporting and doing this. Of all people you would think they wouldn't be doing it.
