Diving the Nemesis III Wreck

Site Overview

Nemesis III Wreck is a wreck, artificial-reef dive site in undefined, Cyprus, set in the open Mediterranean waters off Cape Greco. The Nemesis III is a 45 m French-built trawler scuttled in 2013 and now lying in 20-28 m off Cape Greco, with an open wheelhouse and holds easy to explore. The site reaches a maximum depth of 28 m with an average around 22 m, and the typical profile suits intermediate divers holding at least an Advanced Open Water certification. Conditions are typical of the Cypriot coast: visibility generally runs from 20 to 35 metres, the current is mild, and the water temperature ranges between 16 and 28 degrees Celsius with low surge exposure. The marine community is centred on European Barracuda, Dusky Grouper, Lionfish (invasive), Mediterranean Moray, with the full species list detailed below for those planning a dive. It is a popular Cape Greco wreck where barracuda and groupers gather around the open structure. Because of its intermediate rating and the need for an Advanced Open Water certification, Nemesis III Wreck is best approached with the right thermal protection and, where relevant, appropriate specialist training. It is a representative example of why Cypriot diving, with its wrecks, reefs, caves and gorgonian walls, attracts divers who want Mediterranean life and history in equal measure, and it pairs easily with the other sites of the undefined region for a varied holiday.
