The Costandis wreck was once a bottom trawler named Zolotets (built in the USSR in 1989) and is one of two wrecks that make up the Dasoudi Marine Protected Area (MPA), alongside the Lady Thetis wreck. Both sunk in 2014 to create an artificial reef and enrich marine diversity. There is much to explore at this interesting wreck, with easy swim throughs and penetration options and rich marine life, with groupers, lion fish, seabreams, sea slugs, moray eels, tube warms. The vessel is located just 200 metres from the Lady Thetis vessel, making the site perfect for scooter diving, as well as for any level of diver and especially as an introduction to wreck diving.

LADY THETIS

The vessel was originally a coastal passenger vessel named Reiher (built in West Germany in 1953) and then a Cypriot passenger ship. Offering easy swim throughs and penetration options for the more adventurous diver, the wreck sank in such a way that she is now ‘dug’ into the seabed, offering a deeper depth inside, close to the keel. Marine life at the reef is rich and varied. The wreck site is perfect for scooter diving, as well as for any level of diver and especially as an introduction to wreck diving.
