Kyrenia Wreck
The Kyrenia, formerly the Greek navy vessel HS Knossos (renamed Kyrenia in 2000), is 29 m long and was donated by the Ministry of Defence and sunk off Ayia Napa in March 2015 as an artificial reef. She lies at about 23 m and offers safe swim-throughs for basic wreck diving; moray eels and groupers live there, though the life is not as rich as on the other local wrecks.
