About Cement Wreck
Cement Wreck is a deep boat-access wreck off the Batroun/Selaata coast of Lebanon, with the site running roughly from the mid-30s to low-40s meters. The wreck is known for its coral-covered upper section, cement-bag cargo history, and lively wreck life, so planning is about gas, depth discipline, and operator logistics rather than easy entry. It is an advanced wreck dive, not a casual sightseeing stop, and any wreck interior should be treated as an overhead-environment decision.
