Dive-site story
Sunk in early 2014 as an artificial reef within the Limassol Marine Protected Area, the former German passenger vessel Lady Thetis rests upright on a flat seabed. Prepared thoroughly before scuttling, the vessel features multiple open swim-throughs across the saloon, bridge, and engine room. The superstructure now shelters a dense collection of Mediterranean marine fauna that colonized the metal bulkheads.
