History of Liberty
Liberty is a small cargo ship associated with the Cyprus coast. In recent years, the vessel purpose-sunk as artificial reef. The remains form a recognised site for divers and researchers. Many Cyprus wrecks are artificial reefs prepared for diving and habitat creation, while others are accidental groundings. Depths at Liberty are around 18–28 m; plan gas and no-decompression limits accordingly. Penetration is not advised without training and conditions. Coordinates are supplied for mapping and do not imply mooring or anchoring at the exact point. Consult a local dive centre for current access rules and any restrictions in marine protected areas.
