ELPIS
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and sperm whales - ELPIS offers some of Larnaca's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 18-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The ELPIS wreck, lying in Larnaca, is a surprising find given its shallow depth. We’re talking five meters, maximum, which means long bottom times and plenty of light. This motor vessel went down in 1967 and still shows a good portion of its hull and superstructure. You can swim over the length of it, watching damselfish dart in and out of the metalwork and occasional octopus peeking from crevices. It’s an easy, relaxed dive, ideal for those wanting a straightforward wreck exploration without the deep dive demands.
