History of Achilleas
Achilleas is a greek vessel associated with the Cyprus coast. In 1975, the vessel exploded and sank; three main sections. 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 Achilleas are around 11–12 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.
