Looking for your next underwater adventure? Look no further than the captivating depths of the Elpida wreck, a recent addition to the vibrant diving scene in Larnaca.
Named after the Greek word for ‘Hope’, the Elpida holds promises of excitement and discovery for divers of all levels. Sunk deliberately just off the coast of Oroklini, Larnaca, this 63-meter cargo ship now rests peacefully on the seabed, waiting to be explored.
At Pissouri Bay Divers, we were fortunate to witness the historic sinking of the Elpida on December 7th, 2019, and wasted no time in being among the first to venture into its depths the very next day. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of guiding fellow divers through the intricate passages and hidden treasures of this remarkable wreck.
Descending to depths of 30 meters, with the uppermost deck lying around 20 meters below the surface, the Elpida offers a safe and exhilarating environment for divers of every skill level. Whether you’re a beginner eager to take your first underwater breaths or a seasoned veteran seeking new challenges, there’s something here for everyone.
What truly sets the Elpida apart is its transformation into an artificial reef, attracting a diverse array of marine life eager to make this sunken vessel their home. From deliberately placed amphorae to curious fish, the wreck teems with activity, offering a glimpse into the vibrant ecosystem thriving beneath the waves.
As stewards of the ocean, we at Pissouri Bay Divers are committed to promoting sustainable diving practices and protecting the delicate marine environment. By choosing to explore the Elpida with us, you’re not just embarking on an unforgettable adventure – you’re also contributing to the preservation of this unique underwater ecosystem for generations to come.
