EDRO III Wreck
The EDRO III was a general cargo ship built in Norway in 1966. Carrying plasterboard from Limassol to Rhodes, she ran aground on the rocks off Peyia (Pegeia) in heavy seas on 8 December 2011 and still lies there with a list, close to the Sea Caves. Wikipedia gives her length as 83 m, Cydive as 95 m. The hull is mostly above water, so the dive starts beside the wreckage at 2–6 m, with parts scattered on the seabed; following the bow anchor chain leads to 20 m or more. It can be entered from the shore or by boat, and Pissouri Bay Divers notes there is not much to see around the wreck itself.
