PEK
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and sperm whales - PEK offers some of Larnaca's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 18-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The PEK wreck off Larnaca is a decent dive, a cargo ship that went down in the 1950s. She sits upright at 20 metres, making it an accessible wreck for most open water divers. You can swim through the holds and the bridge area, where schools of damselfish often hang around the superstructure. Look closely and you’ll spot moray eels tucked into crevices and the occasional nudibranch making its way across the metal. It’s a solid option for a relaxed second dive, or if you’re looking to get some wreck experience without deep decompression stops.
