History of Vera K
Vera K is a lebanese freighter associated with the Cyprus coast. In 1972, the vessel ran aground on reef; later demolished for safety. 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 Vera K are around 10–14 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.
