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.
In the azure waters off the coast of Oroklini, near Larnaca, lies the Lambousa II Wreck Cyprus, a testament to marine conservation and diving exploration.

Just off the coast of Larnaca lies the Zenobia Wreck Cyprus, a captivating underwater site that has intrigued divers and maritime historians alike.

In the azure waters off the coast of Larnaca, Cyprus, lies the MV Elpida, a testament to marine conservation and diving exploration.
„Elpida,“ meaning „Hope“ in Greek, was a 63-meter-long cargo vessel constructed in Germany in 1965.
After decades of service in Greece, the ship was decommissioned and purposefully sunk on December 7, 2019, to form part of Cyprus’s first artificial reef within the Larnaca Marine Protected Area.
Sunk as part of Cyprus’ artificial reef program, the Lambousa II 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.
It lies upright on a sandy seabed and attracts an increasing number of marine species, turning this once-industrial vessel into a peaceful underwater refuge.
