ELPIDA WRECK

The MV Elpida, which means Hope, lays close to the Zenobia in Larnaca, this is Cyprus’s newest wreck.

Elpida is a large 63m commercial vessel from Greece and lies at a depth of 28m. Sunk in December 2019 as part of the artificial reefs project to create a haven for local marine life. We personally have noticed many foreign species that have made Elpida their home. Lion fish, Filefish, Salema, John Dory and Blue-barred Parrotfish. Rare Anemones which open up when visiting at nigh.

​

The main deck lies at 20-22m and the top of the masts are at a depth of 10m. There are so many open and safe areas of this wreck for divers to explore including the bridge which still has a moveable steering wheel, saloon and accommodation areas.
