A 172m Swedish ferry lying on her port side with 104 articulated lorries still chained to her decks, some hanging in mid-water. The upper car deck is a cathedral-sized swim-through. Resident grouper, barracuda schools, tuna. Capsized 7 June 1980 on her maiden voyage after a computer-controlled ballast system pumped water into the wrong side; she listed, was towed out of Larnaca harbour and sank. No lives lost, £200m of cargo went down with her. Consistently voted one of the world's top ten wreck dives. Anchorage: 1nm off Larnaca; marina berth in Larnaca, short boat run. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
