Dive-site story
The Constandis was a Russian-built bottom trawler originally named Zolotets before being acquired and operated in Cyprus. Intentionally scuttled in the Limassol Marine Protected Area alongside the Lady Thetis wreck, the vessel sits upright on a flat seabed. Open access points allow trained divers to explore the wheelhouse and engine room compartments, while the exterior hull functions as an established artificial reef colonised by Mediterranean fish.
Well-preserved wheelhouse and deck winches accessible for exterior and interior viewing
Large schools of fish sheltering around the hull and superstructure
