About The Karpaz Wreck

The Karpaz Wreck dive site is a remarkable underwater location, suitable for divers of varying levels of experience, contingent upon the current being minimal. The wreck rests on its side at a maximum depth of 16 meters, with the shallowest point being only 8 meters below the water's surface. The wheelhouse is nestled adjacent to the wreck, with a debris field leading to a substantial 3x5 meter engine block. This route continues across ladders and planks to a second anchor situated at a depth of 5 meters. The site provides divers with visibility ranging from 10 to 30 meters, offering an outstanding view of the surrounding marine life and underwater scenery. In addition to the wreck itself, divers can also explore and appreciate the diverse coral and sponge growth that has occurred on and around the sunken vessel. The Karpaz Wreck site delivers an intriguing blend of historical discovery combined with the natural beauty of the underwater world.
