About HMS Cricket Wreck
HMS Cricket Wreck is an upside-down historic gunboat in Larnaka Bay that draws divers for its clean wreck shape and swim-through options. The hull sits over a sandy undercut, with access through the stern and escape-hatch openings that make the route read clearly once you are on the wreck. Plan it as a boat-only advanced dive with careful buoyancy, limited silt, and enough gas reserve to turn before the inside passages get tight.
