Liberty

The Liberty, a Russian-built coastal cargo ship, was cleaned and scuttled off Protaras in 2009 to give the resort coast a proper wreck, and the Mediterranean has spent the years since moving in. Groupers of increasing self-importance patrol the holds, lionfish hang inverted under the deck overhangs, and bream swirl the superstructure in bright water that flatters photographers. At under forty meters of ship she is an unhurried single-tank circuit — bow, hold, bridge, stern — with swim-through openings prepared for divers with the training to use them.

اللحظة التي جئت من أجلها: Upright artificial reef at friendly depth, grouper residents, easy pairing with Nemesis III

التضاريس: A small coastal freighter scuttled upright on sand at about 27 m

نقطة الدخول: Short boat run from Protaras; usually paired with the nearby Nemesis III on a two-tank morning.

المخاطر: Mild depth considerations and standard wreck edges; interiors need lights and training.

الحفاظ على البيئة البحرية: Sunk as an artificial reef and managed for diving; take only photographs.

نيتروكس: يستحق هنا — تقع البروفايلات في النطاق الذي يمدّد فيه النيتروكس وقت التوقف اللاإلزامي بشكل ملموس (بشرط امتلاك التدريب اللازم لاستخدامه).
