Dive-site story
Scuttled in Limassol Bay to foster marine life, this former Russian bottom trawler sits fully upright on a sandy seabed inside an established marine protected area. Cleaned and prepared specifically for scuba diving prior to sinking, the vessel offers accessible holds and wheelhouse passages. Resident groupers frequent the shadowed machinery spaces below deck, while jacks and bream circle the exterior rigging in open water.
