Boat-access wreck near MUSAN in Ayia Napa.
Kyrenia wreck is a former Greek navy patrol boat sunk as an artificial reef off Ayia Napa.

It suits certified divers who want a predictable wreck with solid structure and an easy return to the line.

Scuba Diving
Best for advanced wreck divers who want a short, controlled descent and a compact artificial-reef circuit.
Freediving
Advanced freedivers with local guidance can use the site, but the depth and boat-only setup keep it in advanced territory.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel target; the wreck sits too deep for useful surface-only viewing.
