The Liberty Wreck

The Liberty Wreck ProtarasThe Liberty was the first of the new wrecks to be sunk in the Protaras and Ayia Napa area.  The Liberty was saved from scrap and turned into an artificial reef for divers and to help bring marine life back to area.

The Liberty wreck sits in 27m of water to the seabed with the shallowest part being at 22m so this makes it perfect for a first wreck dive or as part of the Advanced Open Water Course.
