Entertainment on the sea of ​​Cyprus - attractions and diving. The best summer activities at sea

Summer is the season for holidays most of population tends to sea ​​coasts, To obtain good rest: lie on the beach under the rays of the warm sun, cool off in a healing sea ​​water to restore strength and get a boost of energy and vitamins necessary for health and vitality. Mostly (if you are not an avid swimmer) relaxing on the beach by the sea or any other body of water (lake, river, etc.) implies a passive form of recreation, that is, basically spending time on the beach under the sun and periodically taking water procedures(bathing).

These two types of pastime are the main ones in the idea of ​​relaxing on the beach, but it is natural for a person to strive for diversity in order to best meet their needs and desires, including during the holidays. As a result, there have been many additional entertainment accompanying a beach holiday. In this article we will talk about a variety of additional "options" beach holiday(paid and free), currently available on certain beaches. The listed activities are sorted according to their availability and complexity.

Construction of sand structures.

Undoubtedly, everyone who has ever been to sandy beach, I definitely tried to build some kind of sand structure, whether it be a small hill or a beautiful castle or something more significant. This activity requires a bit of imagination and diligence. Here anyone can feel like a sculptor.

Inflatable beach slides, trampolines.

Currently there are on every major public beach. They are structures made of inflatable blocks in the form of towns, castles and other structures that include slides, springboards and trampolines. They give the opportunity to jump and somersault cheerfully, “fall into childhood”, give an emotional boost even to adults, not to mention teenagers and children.

Mobile beach games.

For those who try to keep their body in good physical shape, there is always a place for various outdoor games on almost every beach or in shallow water near the coast. The most common team games are: volleyball, football, badminton, throwing a flying saucer, chasing in the water and many others are also interesting. One of the necessary conditions is being under the sun with a covered head, so as not to get heat or sunstroke.

Bathing on a mattress/circle.

I'm tired of wiping my sides on a sunbed on the shore and I want more thrill, then you can enjoy the smooth swaying on the waves, lying on an air mattress or circle, next to the cool freshness of the sea.

Water balloon, zorbing.

Also quite a fun entertainment when one or more people (depending on size) are placed in an inflatable transparent ball or zorb. Such a ball (zorb) descends to the water surface and makes it possible to literally"to walk on water". The difference between a zorb and a ball is that the first has holes for ventilation, and the usual solid ball.

Riding on a catamaran, boat.

Do you want to become the captain of a small ship and surf the expanses of the water surface yourself? Then take the oars in your hands or put your feet on the pedals of the catamaran and go. True, most likely it will not be possible to sail beyond the horizon, because these ships are not intended for long-term travel.

Banana riding, tablet.

Those who want to ride sit on an air mattress in the form of a banana or tablet / cheesecake, and a boat or a powerful jet ski pulls them along on a cable, using various maneuvers to enhance the impression of the trip. This type of entertainment is semi-extreme, because it is associated with speed and risk, so you must wear a life jacket while skiing.

Riding on a jet ski, boat or yacht.

Are you confident in your abilities and want to test yourself as a real "sea wolf"? At your service are walks on various modern watercraft: from jet skis (jet skis) to cruise yachts. Riding a jet ski is the most attractive because the roar of the engine, spray, speed and endless possibilities for movement and route selection give a feeling of superiority over the elements. An incredible surge of emotions is guaranteed. If you want a more calm and safe conquest of the sea, you can rent a boat or yacht.

Many people want to see the sea from a bird's eye view and feel extraordinary freedom. Such an opportunity is provided by a parachute flight, which is tied to a boat with a cable. From above you can see the beauty of the sea and coastal zone and get a huge dose of adrenaline.

Surfing, windsurfing.

These types of entertainment will appeal to fearless and extreme-loving people. In surfing, a person glides through the water, standing on a special board, using the forces of nature: for ordinary surfing, this is the power of a big wave, for wind surfing, this is the power of the wind, which wind surfers catch with a sail mounted on the board. These activities require certain skills and physical fitness.

Water skiing, wakeboarding.

These are already more extreme types of entertainment, which have already grown into sports. Both are associated with speed and extreme and require certain skills and coordination of movements. Suitable for many who at least once in their lives rode ordinary or skiing and skateboard or snowboard. In wakeboarding, a special board (wakeboard) is used, which is also tied to a boat or jet ski.

One of the youngest entertainments on the water. It is a special board connected by a hose to a pump, from the lower surface of which a pressure of water escapes through the nozzles, so that due to the resulting pressure it is possible to soar above the water surface. It looks very impressive, requires some coordination and stability. According to some reports, you can take off on such a board up to 12 meters high!

Diving, spearfishing.

plunging into sea ​​depths, the diver can see incredible beauty underwater world: varied marine life, Remains Of Ancient Civilizations. You can just enjoy the views, but Lately spearfishing is often common, when it is possible to catch any inhabitant of the sea with the help of special underwater weapons. In this type of entertainment, an experienced instructor must be present nearby.

This is not the whole list of events presented on different beaches of the world. You can still visit and have fun with your family and children in large water parks, at water stadiums and other larger complexes. Here are collected only certain types of leisure most often found on beaches and reservoirs. Choose according to your taste, the main thing is not to be afraid and you will succeed! And be sure to follow safety precautions!

The first warm days have already begun to please the Russians, which means that long-awaited vacation not far off anymore. The warm sea, sand and soft drinks beckon people, making them forget about work and everyday problems.

Someone chooses foreign resorts with a five-star hotel, others buy a train ticket to visit domestic beaches and sanatoriums. But both of them are united by the feeling of having a good rest, carelessly spending the money earned during the year. That is why the residents resort towns rub their palms with anticipation, because they will make good money on rental housing, trade and beach activities.

Business on the beach is considered the simplest and most profitable type of income in the resort; every year it brings its owners thousands of dollars in profit in just three to four months. The beach business is considered one of the most profitable and highly profitable.

Earnings on beach activities are seasonal, usually lasting from three to four months a year. But, despite such a short time, organized business on the beach can bring profit, which will make it possible to live carefree for the rest of the year or open a new business. In addition, these three-four months working days will be spent on the beach, near warm sea so it's hard to imagine a more pleasant working environment.

Where to begin?

First you need to decide on the type of beach business. Usually, all options for a successful business on the beach are divided into several types:

• No major investment. A type of business that does not require a serious initial investment from the owner.
• With significant investment. This category of business will require owners to invest in expensive equipment, repairs and improvements.

Experienced entrepreneurs say that it will take only five hundred to seven hundred dollars to open a small business on the beach. These funds can be found by anyone who wants to without much difficulty. For example, for the sale of seeds, dried fish, corn, “penny” will be required, and the profit will pay back all expenses tenfold.

In order to start offering your services and goods on the beach, it is not even necessary to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC, but if you are a law-abiding citizen, then you can go through this procedure.

Whether you need to rent a place on the beach or you will be a free wanderer with a bag of groceries on your shoulder depends on the type of business you choose.

Cons of the beach business

Opening a business on the beach is a very promising business path, but it also has its drawbacks.

• Working on the beach is very exhausting. The whole day is under the scorching sun, not every person can, and it is unprofitable to trust a hired employee. Often, the staff hides part of the proceeds from the owner or even runs away with it.
• SES employees will monitor your business very closely, waiting for the moment when you can be fined. As already mentioned, many beach businessmen work without a permit, because obtaining these documents carries a large cost.

Business types

Now let's give some beach business ideas that will bring long-awaited profit to the owner.

Providing comfort

The Russians are already accustomed to relaxing in comfort, no one goes to the beach with a towel on which he will sunbathe. Everyone wants to borrow a sun lounger and an umbrella for comfortable rest. Therefore, renting umbrellas and sun loungers is the most popular beach business. The cost of buying equipment pays off from the owners in the first days of the season, and then brings a stable profit until closing.

People are already used to paying for comfort, so renting sun loungers and umbrellas is a profitable business.

Dry closets, showers and changing cabins are the next point of a comfortable stay. People do not mind giving twenty to thirty rubles for the convenience that the owner of this type of business opens up for them. Indeed, for one person this is a trifle, but if you count the number of daily visitors, it turns out that this type of income is very promising.

attractions

The most popular beach business is the opening of attractions. Entertainment, both on land and on the water, is in constant demand among beach visitors. Of course, this type of business will require investments, but they will pay off their owner with interest.

The most popular attractions on the beach are:

All these types of attractions bring joy and fun to customers, which is the main objective of this business. The main expenses are the cost of buying equipment for attractions, renting and registering a business in all instances: SES, tax, state inspection for small boats. But all these little things will be justified by the profit received from the rental of attractions.

Remember: The Entrepreneur must be tested for knowledge of the rules for organizing recreation on the water in the shipping company.

The total investment of this type of business is three hundred to four hundred thousand rubles, depending on the quality of the purchased equipment. For example, a rubber water zorb costs twenty thousand rubles, in order to make a good profit, you need to purchase 4-5 balls. A ground trampoline, depending on its dimensions, costs from one hundred to two hundred thousand rubles, but costs can be reduced if you rent a trampoline. A water scooter costs from forty thousand rubles, for full-fledged work you will need to purchase 3-4 such scooters.

Rent for the occupied place will cost from 15 to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the size of the attraction. The salary of employees who instruct clients and collect money is 18-20 thousand rubles. But it is possible to save on this if the entrepreneur himself does this.

Sale of gifts and souvenirs

Any person who comes on vacation at sea will definitely buy a souvenir as a keepsake, as well as gifts for his family and friends. Especially popular are unique souvenirs that are hard to find in hometown. Often these souvenirs are figurines made of shells, bracelets made of sea ​​stones, talismans, wicker things.

In order to sell these products, you will need to find suppliers who are local craftsmen, as well as rent a place on the beach. The markup for such a product averages from one hundred to three hundred percent, so this type of business is considered very profitable.

Sale of ice cream and draft kvass

Ice cream and kvass are the most popular products on the beach. The queues near the ice cream stalls and kvass stalls do not decrease from morning to evening. Therefore, this beach business option attracts many entrepreneurs.

Starting investments for opening a point for the sale of ice cream and kvass are approximately the same and amount to about one hundred thousand rubles. Usually points of sale do not take up much space on the beach, so the rent will not exceed thirty thousand per month.

Draft kvass and ice cream help to escape the heat, so selling this product on the beach is never a problem.

beach shop

A swimwear shop is another type of highly profitable beach business. Vacationers no doubt willing to spend money on purchases inflatable circles, balls, tanning creams and lotions, diving maxi, towels, swimwear, swimming trunks. Also, in addition to the sale, it is possible to rent equipment - surfs, balls, circles and even boats.

Every year, enterprising businessmen find new types of services to entertain vacationers, however, there is enough profit for everyone. Therefore, if you choose where to start your journey in business, then stop at the beach business. Because more than sixty percent of people doing business on the beach pay off their business and make a steady profit during the season.

There is a tower next to the blob, from which the first "blober" jumps onto the catapult. At this time, another "blober" is sitting on the other end of the Blob. The air inside the blob (blob) moves to the opposite side of the airbag, where the second "blob" takes off into the air. But these are all the words that come out of it, see for yourself.

8 Bananas, tablets etc

It is also a rather dynamic attraction, but unlike the other passive ones, the rider does not have any control options. At the request of the organizers of the attraction can ride with a coup. On a banana, there's one chip on last place, you can hang down and slide on the water holding only your hands, did this many times.

9 Zorb

Zorb entertainment is rather for children, an inflatable ball inside which a person is launched and he slides through the water, rolling and somersaulting.

Ways of descent are also different, using all sorts of watercraft and devices. Entertainment, of course, fun, giving maximum positive emotions.

Some attractions allow you to fly down at speeds of more than 100 km per hour. Does the brave man enjoy such super-extreme entertainment? Something hard to believe.

Aquazorb

Do you know water rides that allow you to literally walk on water? These are such transparent balls made of plastic - aquazorbs. Not only kids like this entertainment.

You can, like a bird, soar sharply upwards and immediately dive into the abyss of water, like a dolphin. These flights give an unforgettable experience, but are available to those who take risks and are not afraid of extreme sports.

Aquaskipper

Water attractions are very diverse - popular bananas and various slides are known to everyone. Do you know a device called aquaskipper - is it aquaplan or a waterplane?

Simply put, this is a water scooter that moves due to muscular strength. A person jumps and thus moves along the water surface. Jumps and pushes provide movement at a speed of about 30 km per hour.

The weight of the aquaskipper is about 12 kg, it is made of aluminum and foam. They ride it both in calm and in the presence of waves.

Blob or water catapult

In fact, water rides are a fascinating thing. At least for those who are not afraid to take risks and get new experiences.

Are you ready to experience the water catapult? The mechanism of its action is as follows: the so-called blob (that is, a catapult) is installed at a depth of at least 2.5 meters. Nearby is a tower from which the daredevil makes a jump to one end of the blob. And at the other end, another jumper (blober) soars up sharply and then jumps into the water.

Attractions on the water are so diverse that everyone can choose the right entertainment for themselves - from banana riding to kitesurfing and water skiing.
