History of White Star
White Star is a russian fishing vessel associated with the Cyprus coast. In 2007, the vessel sank while under tow to Limassol for scrapping. 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 White Star are around 14–18 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.
