FARAG
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and sperm whales - FARAG offers some of Larnaca's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 18-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Farag, an old carrier vessel, went down off Cape Andreas back in '76, but you can find her in two main pieces these days. We usually drop onto the bow section in about 10 meters, where the wreck makes for a straightforward, relaxing dive. She’s not massive, but the interior holds some interesting nooks. Look inside for groupers lurking in the shadows and small shoals of fish darting through the broken plating. It’s a nice option for a second dive or if you’re looking for something gentle with a bit of history.
