Dive-site story
Purposefully sunk as an artificial reef off the Larnaca coastline, this former commercial cargo vessel sits upright on a flat sandy seabed. The ship features expansive open cargo holds, an accessible bridge, and intact accommodation blocks. Algae, sponges, and schooling Mediterranean fishes have thoroughly colonized the steel structure, making it one of the premier wreck explorations in the region.
