Just offshore near Oroklini, not far from the Lambousa, lies the LEF 1 Wreck near Larnaca in Cyprus – a 15-meter wreck purpose-sunk in 2019 to support marine biodiversity as part of a structured artificial reef initiative.
Resting in only 13 meters of water, this compact site is ideal for beginners, snorkelers, and anyone seeking a calm but rich underwater experience.
Discover theLEF 1 Wreck near Oroklini in the Sanyctours Gallery – a shallow, purpose-sunk dive site designed to support marine life.
Submerged just off the coast of Oroklini, near Larnaca, the Lambousa Wreck Cyprus was deliberately sunk as part of a marine conservation and reef creation project — turning a decommissioned cargo vessel into a new underwater habitat. Since then, it has evolved into a peaceful, accessible dive site full of quiet detail and growing biodiversity.
In the Sanyctours Gallery, Lambousa Wreck Cyprus is shown in soft currents and filtered light: coral beginning to bloom across its structure, small schools of fish weaving through open spaces, and the slow transformation of steel into reef.
The Lambousa Wreck is one of the most exciting new dive attractions in the Larnaca/Oroklini region.
Intentionally sunk to create a dedicated dive site and artificial reef, the Lambousa Wreck offers divers the rare chance to explore a modern wreck from its very beginning — clean structure, clear lines and a strong “ship silhouette” that makes every dive feel cinematic.
What makes the Lambousa Wreck special is not only the wreck itself, but also the feeling that the site is evolving.
The LEF 1 Wreck is one of the most enjoyable and varied dive sites in the Larnaca region because it offers more than just a wreck.
What makes the LEF1 Wreck special is its location: the wreck lies directly next to a small reef, and behind it you’ll find two additional smaller reefs, connected by a guideline. This creates an ideal dive route where you can explore a compact wreck and, within the same dive, discover the vibrant marine life of the Mediterranean.
Thanks to this layout, the LEF 1 Wreck is perfect for divers who want variety, relaxed exploration and excellent underwater scenery — all in one well-structured dive.
Just off the coast of Larnaca lies the Zenobia Wreck in Cyprus, a captivating underwater site that has intrigued divers and maritime historians alike.
The MS Zenobia was a Swedish-built Challenger-class roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) ferry, launched in 1979, measuring 172 meters in length and 28 meters in beam.
Explore the Zenobia Wreck, a world-renowned dive site offering a unique blend of maritime history and vibrant marine life.
The Elpida Wreck is one of Cyprus’ most impressive modern dive attractions and a true highlight for wreck lovers.
Unlike historic shipwrecks that sank by accident, the Elpida Wreck was intentionally sunk as part of a marine project to create an artificial reef and a dedicated underwater destination for divers.
Today, the Elpida Wreck offers an extraordinary mix of scale, structure and clean wreck lines — a ship that feels almost like a brand-new underwater “building”, slowly becoming part of the sea.
Sunk as part of Cyprus’ artificial reef program, the Lambousa Wreck is a compact and atmospheric wreck located near Oroklini in the Larnaca District.
Though smaller than Zenobia or Elpida, this former cargo ship is ideal for a second wreck dive or a focused single dive with plenty to discover.
The Lambousa Wreck lies upright on a sandy seabed and attracts an increasing number of marine species, turning this once-industrial vessel into a peaceful underwater refuge.
