BRAVO NEK
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and sperm whales - BRAVO NEK offers some of Larnaca's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 18-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Bravo Nek, an old motor vessel, sits upright at 23 metres, a silent monument to a rough day at sea in 1981. It's a big wreck, 143 metres long, and you can really get a sense of its original scale as you swim along the deck. There are plenty of openings to peer into, though penetration requires proper training given its 'dangerous wreck' classification. We usually find schools of barracuda hanging around the superstructure, and octopuses are often tucked into crevices. It's a good spot for wreck enthusiasts, offering a substantial structure to explore without deep technical demands.
